However, no additional abstract fee is required.
Electronic submission is encouraged.
Abstracts are limited to 500 words or one printed page, whichever is less, and must include a descriptive title, the names and affiliations of all authors, acknowledgment of sponsorship of the research, up to 6 key words or phrases, and an indication of the preference for the session with which the poster presentation should be associated. Abstracts will be reviewed and authors will be notified of acceptance by August 15, 2001. In the case of a rejected abstract, authors will be given the option of withdrawing their registration without penalty. Abstracts submitted electronically will be typeset, but will not be edited. Thus, typographical and grammatical errors that occur in the submitted manuscript will appear in the printed abstract.
