The call for abstracts is now closed and notifications have been sent.

We are accepting abstract submissions through August 4th for the 9th Annual Conference, which will take place on December 14-15, 2016 at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, DC.

The abstract solicitation and conference structure have been designed to focus our thinking and discussion on the highest priorities for dissemination and implementation science now and in the future to help optimize health and health care in the US and elsewhere. Given the breadth of the field and the importance of maximizing opportunities for participants to follow consistent themes throughout the concurrent sessions of the meeting, we are including nine thematic tracks to organize the conference agenda.

 

ABSTRACT INSTRUCTIONS

Abstracts are encouraged for three types of scientific sessions: Individual Oral presentations, Panel presentations, and Poster presentations. A select number of accepted posters may be invited to participate in a poster slam session as well. Priority will be given to abstracts that address the overall conference theme, fit well in one of the conference tracks, and present high-quality data to support abstract conclusions. Authors will be required to select a track for their abstract and must adhere to the format: Background, Methods, Findings, and Implications for D & I Research.

Abstract authors must select a session type and a track that best fits the subject of their abstract.
