NEW PAS 2024 ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DATES
We have important news regarding the PAS 2024 Call for Abstracts.
The PAS 2024 Meeting (Toronto) Call for Abstracts will open on August 31, 2023, and close on November 1, 2023.
With this timeline shift, PAS is returning to its practice of a pre-holiday Abstract call close to:
- Respond to extensive attendee feedback asking for an earlier release of the full program guide
- Allow abstract reviewers to finish their volunteer work before the end-of-year holiday season
- Align PAS with best practices and standard submission timelines for a large scientific meeting
NEW PAS PILOT: PAS WORK-IN-PROGRESS POSTER TRACK
Also New for PAS 2024: At the PAS 2024 Meeting PAS will pilot test a new PAS Work-in-Progress Poster Track. For this Track, incomplete data sets will be permitted. Submissions to this Track must have a Trainee as the first/presenting author and submitter; the Trainee’s mentor must also be an author.
PAS recognizes presenting/first authors who are Trainees may be impacted by the shift to the new PAS 2024 abstract submission timeline. To address this potential impact PAS will pilot test a new Work-in-Progress Poster Track designed specifically for submission of research that is not yet complete by the November 1, 2023, abstract submission deadline.
Abstract submissions to the PAS 2024 Meeting Work-in-Progress Track:
- Must have a Trainee (Medical Student, Resident, or Fellow) as First/Presenting Author and submitter. The Trainee’s mentor must also be an author.
- Meet the same November 1, 2023, abstract submission deadline.
- Will be peer-reviewed before selection; incomplete data sets will be permitted for submissions to this Work-in-Progress Poster Track.
During the PAS 2024 Call for Abstracts (August 31, 2023 – November 1, 2023), Trainee presenting/first authors who submit will have the option to select the Work-in-Progress Track. Abstracts chosen for the PAS Work-in-Progress Poster Track will be presented during one of the usual PAS Poster Sessions and will be clearly designated as work-in-progress.
