Only a co-author of the abstract will be considered an acceptable replacement and ideally that co-author should not be giving another presentation at this meeting.

  • statement of specific objectives, unless included in the title;

  • brief statement of methods, if pertinent;

  • summary of results (including number of subjects per group or number of replicates per treatment), pertinent data, and statistical analyses

  • statement of conclusions.

5. Financial support should be listed at the end of the abstract. Do not use headers (e.g., objectives, methods) in your abstract. Do not put in any paragraph breaks.
