Research Presentation Template: Guidelines for Effective Proposals and Presentations, Summaries of Design

A research presentation template for creating effective research proposals and completed presentations. It includes guidelines for structuring the presentation, general presentation tips, and specific sections for background/literature review, study aim, hypothesis, study design, sample, measures/instruments, operational definitions, study procedure, data analysis, results, discussion, conclusions, acknowledgements, and references.

Research Presentation Template
This template can be used for 2 main types of research
presentations.
Research Protocol Presentation
Perhaps the most critical presentation of your research proposal
is performed before sending the application to the IRB. The
purpose of presenting the proposal at this time is to receive
feedback while you still have the opportunity to modify the study
design and make important revisions to your proposed study.
Use template slides through a description of the proposed
analysis (disregard slides 19-24 which pertain to results/conclusions)
Completed Research Presentation
Presenting the completed research study including results and
conclusions provides the opportunity to showcase your work and
celebrate completion. You will also receive feedback about your
presentation style and display before presenting at a national
meeting and writing the manuscript.

Research Presentation Template

This template can be used for 2 main types of research presentations. Research Protocol Presentation

  • Perhaps the most critical presentation of your research proposal is performed before sending the application to the IRB. The purpose of presenting the proposal at this time is to receive feedback while you still have the opportunity to modify the study design and make important revisions to your proposed study.
  • Use template slides through a description of the proposed analysis (disregard slides 19-24 which pertain to results/conclusions) Completed Research Presentation
  • Presenting the completed research study including results and conclusions provides the opportunity to showcase your work and celebrate completion. You will also receive feedback about your presentation style and display before presenting at a national meeting and writing the manuscript.

Research Proposal Presentation

Template

  • The purple slides within this template are for information only and should be removed from your presentation.
  • To insert additional slides use the “new slide” button from the toolbar this will keep the same slide background on the new slide.

General Presentation Guidelines

The object is to interest and inform, not to entertain.

  • Time: Too hurried a pace will not allow your audience to digest your material. Too slow a pace will leave them bored. Most presentations have a fixed time limit so PRACTICE YOUR TALK to be sure to end within a minute of the set time. A general rule of thumb is one minute per content slide (10 minutes, 10 content slides)
  • Eyes: Engage your audience with good eye contact. Make every person in the room feel like the most important member of the audience.
  • Voice: Your voice should comfortably reach the person furthest removed from you. Try to project without shouting. Expressive intonation will help hold your audience’s attention.
  • Posture: Remain comfortable and relaxed. Speak to your audience, not to your notes or slides. Keep your head up and your eyes in contact with your listeners. You may occasionally glace at your notes, but avoid reading.
  • Smile: A smile conveys confidence and helps relax yourself and your audience. Before including comedy, however, try your material on an honest friend. If you are the only one to recognized the intended humor in your content, save it for yourself.
  • Language: Effective speakers avoid nervous expressions. Novice speakers fear silence and try to bridge their ideas with “connectors.” Purge the following expressions from your vocabulary: “you know?’, “um”, “uh”, all right?”, “OK?”, “but…I…uh”
  • Dress: Your clothing makes a statement. Consider the venue, the content of your presentation, and the impact your attire will have on the audience.

Title of Research Proposal

Author(s) Names (Identify faculty mentor, if applicable)

What This Study Adds...

  • Similar to the section included on the first page of every Pediatrics article
  • Summarize in 50 words or less what your study adds to the information that’s already published EXAMPLE: This large cohort study demonstrates that topical Abc® is a well-tolerated alternative to oral Xyz® for specific condition Q. It’s most effective for symptom P regardless of severity. Greater improvement occurs in children less than 5 years of age. Longer treatment results in better response.

Background/Literature Review

  • This will be a brief literature review for your audience, where you discuss only the most relevant articles or texts that you used in your research
  • Use this section to build the case for your study ; explain why this research is important.
  • In this section, use text citation format (authors, publication year) and a brief statement about what you gleaned from their work and how it supports your research
  • Include the full reference at the end of presentation

Purpose

  • A clear, concise statement of the specific aim or objective of the study
  • Includes variables, population, and setting
  • Examples of statement prefix: “The purpose of this study is to: - Describe … - Determine differences between groups… - Examine relationships among… - Determine the effect of…

Study Aim(s)

  • Specific statements that focus on what variables or concepts are to be described and what relationships might exist among them
  • Create an aim statement for each set of variables to be studied

Example Study Purpose: To describe the use of a progressive mobility protocol in the surgical heart unit. Specific Aims:

  1. To compare the ICU LOS from before to after use of mobility protocol as measured by average daily LOS over 6 months.
  2. To compare the number of ventilator hours from before to after use of mobility protocol.
  3. To evaluate the change in daily patient report of mobility as measured by visual analog scale. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that when a standard mobility protocol is followed, we will see an overall decrease in LOS and ventilator hours in cardiovascular surgical patients in the ICU. In addition, those patients will have perceived improved mobility by ICU discharge.

Study Design

  • Describe the design you propose to use
  • This is the blueprint for conducting your study
  • Guides the research in planning and implementing a study - Maximize control over factors that could interfere with the validity of the findings
  • Control provided by the design increases the probability that the study results are accurate reflections of reality

Measures/Instruments

  • Describe measures or instruments you will use in your study (use established and tested measures when available and appropriate)
  • Provide rationale for chosen measures
  • Provide reliability and validity for measures

Operational Definitions

  • Clarify and define the outcomes of interest (i.e. variables) in your study.
  • Specify the operations that you will perform to measure it (i.e. use an instrument, record a specific measure from the EMR)
  • Consider how the variables have been measured in the literature

Study Procedure(s)

  • Once a research subject is in the study, what happens? - Write it like a recipe: detailed, specific
  • Describe data that will be collected and methods of measurement What data? When? How often? How collected and processed?
  • Insert additional slides as needed

Data Analysis

  • Describe your plan for statistical analysis
  • Your chosen tests should be consistent with your study purpose and design
