Can confirm. My first poster was still the majority my analysis (and pre-existing data from the lab), but to get it accepted we needed the internal knowledge of how a proposal gets written and for that a graduate was needed.

Funny enough I got into grad school before I even presented the poster, so I was able to just do the rest of the work once I had a little bit of know how, plus a tiny stipend from my new dept!
