New Research Posters

Format Description

*** New streamlined submission requirements for 2010! ***

A New Research poster is a visual, self-explanatory presentation of recent research findings combined with discussion among presenters and participants. This format allows for very recent findings obtained from ongoing research. Data must be "new" and "research-based" (qualitative or quantitative). Findings may NOT have been published or presented prior to December 3, 2009. Young Investigator poster sessions are dedicated to new investigators (i.e., residents, medical students, and research or clinical fellows).

New Research Posters for the 2010 Annual Meeting in New Orleans will be accepted beginning November 3, 2009 and a submission must be completed in its entirety by December 3, 2009. The deadline is final; no "late-breaking research" proposals are accepted after this date. 

N.B. If accepted, presenters must register for the Annual Meeting at least for the day of the presentation.
 
New Research/Young Investigator Poster Guidelines and Instructions

  • Multiple submissions are permitted, but only one (1) New Research poster per lead author will be accepted.
  • "Works in progress" will not be accepted (i.e., "data analysis in progress," "data will follow," or "results of this study will be presented.)"
  • Only generic drug names should be used.
  • Medical students, residents and research/clinical fellows are encouraged to submit using the Young Investigator New Research Poster form. 

 Checklist of  Requirements:  

  1. Contact Information -- Abstracts should be submitted by the lead (first) author only. The first/lead author must him/herself logon to the submission system and complete the address, disclosure and presenter consent forms. To avoid an incorrect submission which must be disqualified, consult a staff member for clarification and assistance with the submission process.

  2. Disclosure & Presenter Consent for Lead/First Author 

  3. Report Title (limited to 150 characters including spaces; please be succinct)

  4. Topic Selection - Please choose the topic that best encompasses the overall discussion of your entire presentation.

  5. Abstract (limited to 2,500 characters including spaces) - Like the abstract in a journal article, the poster abstract should be a concise description of the specific purpose, content, methodology, sample size and characteristics, results, and importance of the proposed presentation in narrative form (avoid tables and charts - these can be incorporated into the poster if accepted). State specific findings and inferences explicitly. Conclude with a sentence that provides a strong summary for the abstract. Include a statement regarding commercial support if applicable. Verify that you abstract is within the character limit before you submit or your submission may be cut off mid-sentence.

  6. Second and Additional Author Names and Academic Degree(s) (if any) - Enter as free text the names of any and all secondary/co-authors. We cannot promise to include in our meeting publications any authors who are inadvertently omitted at the time of submission. Please indicate only recognized academic degrees. Do not substitute occupation (e.g., psychologist) or academic status (ABD, doctoral candidate). Do not include institutional affiliation(s). Please use the style and punctuation as shown below:

    Benjamin Rush, M.D., John J. Smith, M.D., Ph.D., Mary Jones-Kennedy, M.D., J.D., Jane Johnson, M.B.A.

Note: Entries lacking any of the required elements by the established deadline cannot be forwarded to the Scientific Program Committee for review and consideration.
