Call for Abstracts

General Information

  • Abstracts must be received by 12 September 2003. If you are eligible,

    please study the detail regarding Scholarships which is included with this

    registration package.

  • We are happy to receive abstracts relating to posters that you will be

    presenting at Renal Week in San Diego. There are no problems about the

    exhibition of these posters at Ensenada, but we will need to process these

    abstracts. Please send a covering note with your abstract indicating that

    it is presented at the ASN meeting.

  • Free communications submitted to the conference will be displayed as

    posters.

  • Each poster will be displayed for the duration of the conference and

    tea breaks will be taken in the poster areas to give authors the

    opportunity to discuss their work with the other delegates. Posters should

    be mounted by 7:00 pm on Monday 17 November prior to the Opening

    Reception.

  • The posters should be relevant to renal disease in racial and ethnic

    minorities.

  • Abstracts must be written in English.
  • All co-authors must agree with the content of the abstract.
  • The original abstract in the format 12,5 x 17 cm will be reproduced

    directly from the abstract so there can be no alterations to abstracts

    once submitted.

  • Abstracts must be signed and submitted on the attached form. You can

    send the abstract by post or by fax, but, either way, you need to send

    your abstract(s) as an e-mail attachment (MS Word or WordPerfect) as well.

    September.

Best Poster Awards

    hyphenation, skipped lines, black borders, type in the margins or

    incorrect abbreviations may not be published and could be rejected. Proof
