Poster Guidelines

All PIs of active projects are required to prepare one project poster. Please submit your poster on the registration page by May 1st, 2026. The PI of the lead institution is responsible for ensuring that each aspect of the research is covered. If you are a PI with multiple active projects, you will have the opportunity to submit artifacts for up to four projects. Collaborative awards (multi-institution, each with unique award numbers) can submit a single joint poster covering the entire project if desired.

Posters should provide an overview of the research topics and results, with effective use of graphics. We ask that you make sure to emphasize the scientific contribution of your project with respect to secure and resilient cyberinfrastructure, in general, as well as the impact in specific related topic areas. We also hope that you will explain the project as a whole, rather than only a narrow subtopic. It would be particularly helpful if you include the scientific challenge questions being addressed in the project context that will contribute new approaches that generalize to other CICI research.

A total of two poster sessions will be scheduled, tentatively both on day 1. Poster sessions will be broken into two groups: I and II. The organizing committee will assign poster sessions to each PI prior to the meeting. Please do not relocate stands and labels. Volunteers will be on hand to assist PIs with set up and breakdown at each session.

PIs or alternate(s) are also responsible for:

• Preparing a poster in PDF format (PIs have the option of adding a URL or QR code to the poster.)

• Submitting the poster (link on the registration page) by the posted deadline.

PIs or alternate(s) are strongly encouraged to:

• Print and bring a poster and selecting a poster location by pinning their poster to a selected poster stand (that will be labeled I or II representing each of the two sessions). The poster boards have a cushioned backing, the easels will accommodate posters 30”x36”. Printed versions of posters may be in any format that fits within that space.
• Present the poster during the programmed poster session time.
• Dismantle and remove the poster at the end of the meeting.

Sample poster template

Sample poster templates, adapted from CMU’s 2024 SaTC PI Meeting, are available to download below depending on the track:

• Usable and Collaborative Security for Science (UCSS) Template
• Reference Scientific Security Dataset (RSSD)
• Transition to Cyberinfrastructure Resilience (TCR)
• Integrity, Provenance, and Authenticity for Artificial Intelligence Ready Data (IPAAI)
