Dear Colleagues,
More than 2,000 presentations are already scheduled for the Society’s 59th Annual Meeting and ToxExpo in Anaheim, California. We now invite you to submit a late-breaking abstract. Late-breaking abstracts are being accepted until Tuesday, January 14, 2020, at 11:59 pm (ET). Please visit the “Abstracts” web page section of the Annual Meeting website to submit a late-breaking abstract.
An important criterion for abstract submission during this time is that the research must be new and of sufficient scientific importance to merit special consideration after the standard abstract deadline. Abstracts should describe high-impact, original research that could not be completed before the original deadline.
Please also review these additional considerations for qualification for acceptance during this final submission phase:
- All abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Program Committee and held to the same standards used to evaluate abstracts submitted for the original deadline.
- Your abstract should not be a revision of a previously submitted one that was not accepted unless you received specific communication from the Scientific Program Committee suggesting that resubmission during the late-abstract period may be appropriate.
- Scientists who had to wait until after the original deadline of October 18 to submit because of funding issues are encouraged to submit an abstract for consideration.
- Not more than one abstract will be accepted by the same presenting author.
All abstracts accepted during this final submission phase will be programmed for Thursday, March 19, from 8:30 am to 11:30 am. These abstracts will not be printed in the Program, but they will be accessible through the SOT Event App. A PDF supplement of the accepted late-breaking abstracts will be available to download via the Annual Meeting website before the event.
We look forward to welcoming you to Anaheim in March!
Sincerely,
