Late Breaking Abstract Submission

Submit your research for the late
breaking abstract program. The program
allows for inclusion of later submissions of newly completed research and
clinical trials. Abstracts should describe a
noteworthy and timely research advance
that has not been previously published
or submitted. All late breaking abstracts
must be submitted through the online
submission site and received by 5:00 p.m.
(EDT) on Monday, March 12.

New This Year! Online Disclosure
Collection System
To simplify the disclosure collection
process, the Association has implemented
a new Online Disclosure System (call4
abstracts.com/ada/) for the Scientific
Sessions. Using this new, time-saving
system, participants will now enter their
disclosure only once per year. This eliminates the need to re-enter disclosures for
authors who are listed on more than one
abstract or are participating in another
activity during the meeting (i.e., abstract
reviewers, invited speakers, etc.).

What is different for abstract
submission?
Abstract authors are now responsible
for entering their own disclosures into
the Online Disclosure System instead
of the submitter entering them through
the abstract submission site. The abstract
submission site will not allow an author
to be added to a submission until they
have a disclosure record on file.
Don't wait until the last minute!
Authors will not be added to abstracts
after the submission deadline.
