Call for Abstracts

The CFDE Steering Committee invites you to submit an abstract of your scientific research or technical work to be considered for a poster or oral presentation during the CFDE meeting, March 19-20, 2024 at the Bethesda Hotel.

Abstracts can be of a scientific or technical nature. Abstracts should provide clear data and validated conclusions. They should consist of an introduction that presents the background and rationale of the study or work, a brief description of the methods employed, a summary of the results, and a statement of the conclusions, best practices, or lessons learned.

Because this meeting is a confidential, internal "study" meeting, abstracts submitted to other national/international conferences are eligible and welcomed for co-submission.

Poster Size and Layout

Each author will share one-side of a 6'x 4' poster board with a useable area measuring 2’10” (86.36 cm) wide x 3’8” (111.76 cm) high. This is a portrait/vertical format. Poster materials may not extend outside the assigned half-board. The majority of meetings use this size, but if there is an existing poster that exceeds this size, dispensation may be available to conserve resources. Check first with NIH CFDE staff. Space for posters and time for presentations will be limited. If the organizers of the CFDE meeting receive more abstracts than there is available space, priority will be given to those abstracts that were submitted in a timely fashion and that provide all the information that is requested. We will also be selecting a small subset of poster presenters to give brief lightning-style talks at the start of the poster session (2 min or less).

Dates

Abstract Submissions Due February 23. Poster Presentations + Lightning Talks March 19.
