The objectives and methods should be described clearly. Findings should be reported in enough detail to support the conclusions.

By submitting an abstract, the presenting author agrees to the mode of presentation determined by the planning committee (platform or poster).

Everyone who submits an abstract will be requested to complete a disclosure form to participate.
Researchers who submit work through the research day web site will be required to sign off on a submission agreement.
