The American College of Epidemiology invites the submission of abstracts for consideration for poster presentations at our annual meeting, which will be held at The InterContinental Hotel, Chicago, IL, September 8-11, 2012.  Poster presentations provide an opportunity for participants in the ACE annual meeting to share their work with interested colleagues in an informal, relaxed setting.  To submit an abstract, authors do not need to be a Member or Fellow of ACE. 

Poster sessions are prominently scheduled during the ACE meeting and several posters are selected for merit awards. Abstracts are judged on their content and presentation.  Cash awards are given for the best abstracts authored by professional epidemiologists.  A separate set of cash awards are given for the best abstracts authored by students.

Posters addressing the meeting theme are particularly encouraged; however, submissions from other areas of epidemiology are also welcome. Accepted abstracts will be published in the program and the Annals of Epidemiology. The deadline for abstract submission is May 1, 2012.  All abstracts must be submitted on-line.

Notification regarding the status (accepted or rejected) of all abstracts will be sent to the presenting author of the abstract by mid-July 2012.
