The Research Committee will review abstracts blinded to authors. Notification letters will be mailed on or before July 2, 2012. We regret that we cannot give notification information by telephone.

An annual Best Presentation by a Young Investigator Award will also be chosen. Investigators at the assistant professor level or below with fewer than five years of faculty appointment may request that their abstracts be considered for review in the young investigator category.

The Best Medical Student Paper Award will be given to a medical student who is the primary investigator of an outstanding abstract presentation.

The Best Resident Paper Award will be given to a resident who is the primary investigator of an outstanding abstract presentation.
