2014 ACEP Research Forum October 27-28 — Chicago, IL Abstracts Due April 25, 2014
Abstract Submission Information The American College of Emergency Physicians’ 2014
Research Forum is dedicated to the presentation of original research related to emergency medicine by investigators in clinical and basic science.
Abstract Submission Requirements Abstracts must meet the submission criteria detailed below.
1. Abstracts should represent original research that has not been published or presented at a national scientific meeting.* Case reports or subject reviews are not considered original research. Abstracts presented at an international or regional meeting are accepted.
2. Abstracts will be submitted online. Instructions will be available on ACEP’s Web site beginning in March, 2014. Abstracts must be received by 5:00pm Central Time, Friday, April 25, 2014.
3. Abstracts must include the following subsections, consistent in style with those appearing in Annals of Emergency Medicine: title, study objectives, methods (include design, setting, and type of participants), results, and conclusion. The abstract should be written in complete sentences using grammatically correct English. Spell out all abbreviations on first usage. Abstracts are limited to 3000 characters not including spaces. Accepted abstracts will be published as received; no copy editing will be performed.
4. Illustrations are discouraged; however, small tables may be accepted. Figures and photos must be black and white with at least 300 dpi. Authors should not be identified in any way on the page containing the abstract.
Abstract Review Process
Abstracts will be peer reviewed for presentation at the 2014 Research Forum. Abstracts will be accepted that are judged scientifically valid and that yield important information which will ultimately affect patient care. Abstracts submitted or the resultant manuscripts must not appear in a referenced journal before publication of the meeting abstracts in the October 2014 issue of Annals and must not have been presented at a national meeting. Abstracts will be reviewed for oral or poster presentation. Oral
presentations will be allowed 10 minutes followed by discussion. Poster presentations will be grouped by topic and will be scheduled during the program. The Research Committee will review abstracts blinded to authors. Notification letters will be mailed on or before July 1, 2014. We regret that we cannot give notification by information by telephone.
Awards The Emergency Medicine Foundation will present an award to the outstanding established researcher and a special award to an outstanding young investigator.
An annual Excellence in Research Award (Best Paper) will be presented to an investigator based on the abstract, presentation, discussion, and subsequent publication of research manuscript. 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 ACEP Research Committee will also present awards for best medical student paper and best resident paper. 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. All four awards will be presented at the 2015 ACEP Research Forum.
