The choices are Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Math Engineering & Technology, Social & Behavioral Sciences, and Public Health. (Some of these areas may be combined, divided into sessions (e.g., Life Sciences I, Life Sciences II, etc.) or eliminated based on the number of submissions. If so, the closest related Competition Area will be assigned to the student.)

***Please Note - you will be required by the UAB Authentication System to sign in using your BlazerID and password to access the Competition Area form or the Abstract Form (You will need a BlazerId or assistance from someone who has one to access the forms). Make sure you select "...private computer" when logging in, as this will keep the system from timing out and omitting your submissions. If you do not receive a Thank You message after you have submitted any form, please contact Dr. Christopher Reaves at cwreaves@uab.edu
