Abstract Submission

Abstracts (or Case Reports) are now being accepted for Research Day 2025. Click here for the Call-for-Abstracts Flyer. Please review the Submission Guidelines before proceeding. Abstracts are due by 11:59pm on April 7, 2025 and must be submitted via the Submission Portal. We recommend that you review the guidelines first, and create a draft of your abstract/case report in Word (or another word processing software) to make use of the character-count feature to ensure your entries meet the character count restrictions for each section, as per the guidelines. Then you can easily copy-and-paste into the online submission portal when you are ready to submit. Please be sure to coordinate with your institution prior to submission to ensure compliance with their submission policies. Some institutions/departments prefer that you submit your abstracts/reports to them for review prior to submission.

The Committee will review all submissions to determine which abstracts will be selected to present a poster and which will be selected for lectern presentations. There are typically two poster sessions (where authors are also asked to present a short, 60-second oral summary of their project), and approximately 5-8 lecterns (where authors will be asked to present an 8-10 minute oral presentation with slides).

If you are part of a research team, you should select a single Contact Author to be responsible for submission. This person will be responsible for sharing all communications from the Committee with their teams.
