How to Submit
Please send your abstract, in the format requested below, to Dawn Koob no later than Friday, March 22, 2019, at 5 pm. Submitting an abstract does not register you for the conference. You must register for the conference separately.
All members of the pain research community, especially graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, are encouraged to submit abstracts. The committee will select a few to be invited to give oral presentations during the regular agenda.
Note to poster presenters: please have your poster up no later than 8:45 am. All poster presenters will participate in a “data blitz” before the poster session. For this you will need to give a 1-minute introduction/invitation for your poster.
