Attention – Trainees – Students, Residents, and Fellows
Deadline: November 1, 2023
Background & Goal: To ease Trainees’ transition to the new, earlier PAS 2024 Abstract submission deadline (November 1, 2023), PAS offers Trainees a special submission option for the PAS 2024 Meeting: a Works in Progress Poster Submission.
Works in Progress Poster Submission- Definition
- Background, Objective, and Design / Methods are complete at submission (November 1, 2023), and
- The study has been implemented and data collection and/or analysis is underway, and
- Datasets and Results that are incomplete at submission, will be COMPLETE by April 1 for presentation at the PAS 2024 Meeting (May 2-6, 2024).
Eligible Submitters: All Trainees-Students, Residents, and Fellows. Although open to all Trainees, PAS anticipates most Presenting Authors/Submitters of Works in Progress Poster Submissions will be second or third-year Fellows who would have completed data sets and results by January 4, 2024, the traditional PAS deadline.
Works in Progress Poster Submission Criteria
- Only Trainees who are Presenting/First Authors may make a Works in Progress Submission.
- The Presenting/First Author Trainee must be both the Presenting/First Author and the Submitter. The Presenting/First Author/Submitter’s Mentor must also be an author.
- Submissions are due by November 1, 2023, and must include complete Background to justify the study, Objective to detail, the study goal and Design/Method sections that detail IRB required approvals, how the study is being conducted, and a data analysis plan and timeline. Datasets and Results may be incomplete at the time of submission.
- Submitters will attest that Datasets and Results will be complete by April 1 for presentation at the PAS 2024 Meeting. If Results are not complete by April 1, the Authors of accepted submissions will alert PAS so the Poster may be removed from the PAS Program.
- Unless otherwise noted in these Criteria Submissions must follow the general PAS Academic Ethics and Submission Guidelines available here.
- A PAS 2024 Works in Progress Poster Submission may be resubmitted as a completed Abstract for the PAS 2025 Meeting (April 23-30, 2025, Honolulu), if substantive changes have been made. PAS 2024 Works in Progress Poster Submissions that remain incomplete or unchanged may not be resubmitted for the PAS 2025 Meeting.

Presentation: If Datasets and Results are not complete by April 1, Authors of accepted Works in Progress Poster Submissions will alert PAS so the Poster may be removed from the PAS Program. Accepted Submissions will be included in designated areas of the regular PAS 2024 Meeting Poster Sessions in Toronto. Author presentations will include final Results based on complete Datasets. Accepted Works in Progress Poster Submissions that have been accepted for publication are still eligible for presentation at the PAS 2024 Meeting.
