Late-Breaking Poster Abstracts | Opening Friday, July 12, 2024
Deadline: Friday, July 26, 2024
All too often, research isn't completed when ISTSS abstract submissions close. ISTSS is ‎excited to offer this ‎‎opportunity to submit a late-breaking poster submission for the 40th ‎Annual Meeting.
Only poster abstract submissions will be considered.Â
The ISTSS 40th Annual Meeting will focus on innovative strategies to apply basic science ‎knowledge to the assessment and treatment of traumatic stress, as well as on the translation of ‎scientific findings into actionable interventions for the global community. In pursuit of this goal, we ‎seek submissions specific to the field of traumatic stress on topics related—but not limited—to:‎
- Application of biomedical science findings to inform assessments and interventions for ‎traumatic stress symptoms/disorders. ‎
- Research investigating the psychological, biological, social and behavioral ‎mechanisms that underlie post-trauma mental health.‎
- Research taking a life course perspective to address to address ‎the spectrum of ‎translational science research.‎
- Evidence-based practices and innovative research in basic science, intervention ‎development and implementation, and policy. ‎
- Innovative transdiagnostic treatment approaches addressing the myriad ‎consequences of trauma.‎
- Cutting-edge research methodologies and statistical frameworks for translational ‎science research.‎
- Ethical implications and considerations associated with the application of translational ‎science in traumatic stress studies.‎
- Ways to effectively communicate and disseminate research to different stakeholders.‎
- Ways to cultivate translational science and interdisciplinary exchange. ‎
- Challenges and debates in the area of translational science.‎
- Translational science as applicable to the global community.‎Â
Abstract submissions closed February 13, 2024, 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time
Participation Limit (Two Submissions Per Person)
To promote participation by a wide range of presenters, individuals are limited to two abstracts being submitted ‎that indicate they have a presenting role.
Who Should Submit the Abstract?
We strongly recommended that the individual who will be presenting in-person ‎be the one to submit your poster abstract. If someone else submits the abstract on behalf of the primary presenter, that ‎person will become the point-person and receive all follow-up emails that will need to be forwarded to the primary ‎presenter.
Other Policies to Note
- Presentations should be original contributions and that any presentation concerning work that has been ‎presented elsewhere should provide new information or a new perspective relative to the previous ‎presentation(s).
- Publication of the work, such as in a journal, prior to the date of abstract submission (not the abstract ‎submission deadline) is prohibited. ‎ ‎
- Proposal descriptions must be sufficiently detailed to allow the relevance, originality and ‎feasibility to be ‎judged. For research presentation abstracts, submissions of findings are ‎strongly encouraged.‎
- Incomplete proposals (draft status) will not be considered.
- All live presentations may be recorded for asynchronous viewing.
‎Examples
Competition for oral presentations is high; therefore, we recommend taking the time to enter the best submission possible. Keep in ‎mind that many high quality proposals must be turned away simply due to lack of space. See examples of model ‎and problematic oral presentation proposals here.
‎‎Review Process
‎Submissions are rated for rigor (scientific, clinical or intellectual), relevance for ISTSS members and consistency ‎with the meeting theme. Proposal descriptions must be sufficiently detailed to allow evaluation of these criteria. ‎‎
‎‎CME Requirements
See an explanation of speaker requirements related to commercial ‎relationships.
‎‎COVID Protocol
‎ISTSS will require attendees at the 2024 annual meeting to follow all COVID-19 guidelines that are in place at the ‎time of the meeting from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state and local government, and ‎conference hotel, The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites, Los Angeles. ‎Individuals should contact the Executive Director to address specific circumstances or exceptional situations.‎
