The URNCST Journal Case Competition provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to experience the peer review and publication process through participation in a case competition. Participants submit an abstract of a research protocol based on a topic proposed by the URNCST Journal. The following abstracts were submitted by undergraduate students to the 3rd URNCST Journal Case Competition held during April 2019.

The emergence of sex-based research has become more prominent within the last decade. Sex is often defined as the biological or genetic makeup of the body. The impact of sex-based differences has been observed in diverse fields, ranging from cardiovascular health, to addictions and mental wellness, to drug efficacy and its cellular implications. As a result, we welcomed abstract submissions from any science or technology discipline exploring sex-based comparisons in their research field.
