Will Your Late-Breaking Research Qualify?


To qualify for presentation as a Late-Breaking Abstract, the submitted research should be likely to have a significant impact on the research community and/or represent a major advance or new finding for which the data or analyses were not available by the regular Call for Abstracts (CFA) deadline of January 8, 2025. Please explain why your data/analyses were not available by the original CFA deadline, and why your abstract should qualify as late-breaking. Failure to speak to this point directly will affect your likelihood of being accepted.
