  • An oral presentation at the Early Career Investigator (ECI) Symposium on May 23, and/or
  • A poster presentation during the regular meeting poster session on May 24 and 25 (see categories below)

When submitting your abstract, clearly indicate whether you wish to be considered for:

  1. An ECI Symposium talk,

All abstracts submitted by trainees and early career investigators (ECI) will be reviewed in advance of the meeting for possible inclusion in the competition for poster awards. Selected abstracts will be judged during the poster sessions on Sunday and Monday, and winners will be expected to give a short oral presentation at the Award Session on Tuesday, May 26. Please come to the meeting prepared with a 5-minute, 2-slide “Data Blitz” presentation in case you are selected to receive one of the best poster awards!
