Emerging Research Track
new for 2026
The 7th National HBCU Blockchain, FinTech, and AI Conference will include an Emerging Research Track for faculty, researchers, doctoral students, graduate students, and emerging scholars who are developing promising early-stage research ideas.
Participants may submit a 3 to 4 page structured abstract that identifies a research question, explains its significance, and outlines a proposed method for conducting the study. Accepted presenters will deliver a five-minute lightning talk using no more than three slides.
This forum is intended to help participants refine research questions, strengthen methods, identify collaborators, and develop ideas into future full papers, grant proposals, curriculum projects, or publishable research.
The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, July 10th. See guidelines by clicking the button below.
