An acknowledgment of NSF support and a disclaimer must appear in publications. Research Poster Template.Downloadable templates for research posters are found on the university's brand website. The Acknowledgements section typically appears last in a poster (Figs. 2 and 9) and is where an author will list the people who contributed to the research. The taking of an acknowledgment consists of positively identifying the signer of a document. Acknowledgments should be placed at the bottom of the research poster, typically in a smaller font size than the rest of the content. Please keep the one dimension 42 inches or less. Ask your conference organizers, department or instructor for poster size requirements. The conference will be held in a hybrid format.
