General Guidelines

The material must not have been published online or in print prior to submission of the abstract. Simultaneous submission of the same abstract to other meetings is permitted.

A Declaration of Conflict-of-Interest Statement (DCOI) is required from each submitting and presenting author. The submitting author will provide a DCOI as part of the abstract submission process. If the presenter is not the submitter the presenter will be contacted by the Meeting Planner to provide their DCOI.

The submitting author will be advised of the results of the peer-review. It is the responsibility of the submitting author to advise other team members of the result.

Each abstract must have one author as the presenter. Multiple presenters are not permitted. The presenting author must register for the program if their abstract is accepted. 

Any individual will not be accepted to present more than two abstracts at SHSA 2022.

The abstract submission portal is now closed.

There will be a competition for the top three posters voted by the attendees. A leaderboard will display on the Friday and Saturday. The winning authors will be notified in advance and can present orally on Sunday, October 9th.​​
