Abstract Submission

To enable us to present truly current research we will have a staged abstract submission process. On the registration form you will indicate whether you intend to submit an abstract.

By FEBRUARY 28th you will be required to submit a draft abstract to allow us to classify and group presentations (for instance, if the study is
not complete, you can omit the results and conclusion). Abstract preparation rules will be the same as for ATS. To allow inclusion of recent data, you may send a final abstract one month before the meeting.

We will accommodate as many original research papers as possible. If your work has been submitted elsewhere to a different audience, it’s OK to send it to us as well. It’s up to you to judge whether the audience will be different. All abstracts will be presented as posters. Many (perhaps all) will also be presented as brief talks. Information on poster sizes and talk durations will follow.

Abstracts should be submitted via email to Andrew Binks (DyspneaCentral@mac.com) as MS Word or Rich Text document.
