ACM Student Research Competition

If you are a student, you may choose here to have your proposal also considered for the ACM Student Research Competition (ACM SRC).

Requirements for the ACM SRC:

  • You must be an undergraduate or graduate student currently enrolled in a university or college.
  • Your proposal should describe the results of recently completed or ongoing computer science research that has not been published yet and that is conducted primarily by you, the individual student.
  • If you are an undergraduate student, team projects are accepted. But only one student can present the poster at GHC.
  • If you are a graduate student, only individual research is accepted. However, if you are a graduate student and are part of a group research project, you may participate by submitting only your individual contribution to the research project.
  • You must have an active ACM student membership (cost of student membership: $19). You may wait until you know if your poster submission is accepted before applying for an ACM membership number.
  • If you are selected, the ACM SRC program may cover your expenses up to $500.
  • You may only participate in one ACM SRC per program year (April 1 – March 31). If you have applied to another ACM SRC but have NOT been accepted, you may apply for the ACM SRC at GHC the same year.
  • No more than 3 research projects will be accepted from a single department and no more than 2 of those can be in a single category. Departments are determined by the location of the research advisor. Please work with your Department Chair to coordinate submissions.
  • If your proposal is not accepted to be part of the ACM SRC, then it will automatically be considered for the GHC General Poster Session.
Please review the requirements above and make sure you meet the requirement regarding individual/group research.
