1. the duration of your research activity while in medical school;
2. the focus or development of your interest;
3. the role that you played in the research effort;
4. the quality of your efforts as indicated by publication, presentation;
5. awards for your work.

List presentations by year; include title, authors and where the work was presented (i.e. name of the meeting). Indicate whether the abstract was published.

List any awards you have received for your research; indicate the project title, the year and the organization giving the award.

List your mentor and any other referee whom you have asked to write letters to the committee evaluating your research. (Reference letters to be written on letter head and can be emailed to jsmbsome@buffalo.edu with "Research Honors" as the subject line; or addressed to the Office of Medical Education and specify "Research Honors" on the envelope).

A copy of your updated curriculum vitae. You may also include copies of publications, manuscripts or other material that may help in the evaluation.
