OHBM 2020 Submissions
The OHBM Program Committee expects to have high quality lectures and posters presented at its annual conference. Abstract acceptance will be strictly based on scientific content. Abstracts which are unethical, incomplete, or contain insufficient data will not be accepted. Abstracts receiving a score of one and below have a high likelihood for being rejected. Experimental reports should include relevant data such as number of subjects studied or statistical information, as appropriate. Please keep in mind that it is a privilege to present your work at the OHBM annual meeting and posters should provide a positive learning experience for all attendees. The OHBM expects that the content or format of your poster will promote improvements or quality in scientific knowledge, education, and/or healthcare and not a specific proprietary business interest of a commercial interest. When submitting abstracts for OHBM 2020, we ask you to consider whether or not multiple abstracts are necessary. Thank you for assisting us in increasing the quality of the OHBM Annual Meeting.
Abstract Merit Awards and Abstract Travel Awards applications are available only during the submission process. Information can be found on the author page.
The deadline to submit your abstract(s) is Thursday, December 19, 2019, at 11:59 PM EST. The Program Committee will review and select all abstracts in January. Oral sessions will be selected in February. Accepted submissions will be notified no later than early March 2020.
