Hello All,

Hate to be a bother, but can someone help please?  Abstracts are due February 2 for JSM 2015 and I'm afraid that I will not get a response in time by going through the formal channels.

So my question, I am working on two different projects.  I want to give a contributed talk on Project 1 and a poster on Project 2.  Am I only allowed to choose one (either the talk or the poster)?  Or can I present one of each type (so presenting a contributed talk and poster is ok but presenting two contributed talks is not)?

Please advise,
Ray

I believe you can do one of each.
No need to panic; you have enough time to double-check the rules on the JSM website.
Bests,

Hello Ray,
The presenters guidelines can be found at: http://www.amstat.org/meetings/jsm/2015/guidelines.cfm (see below). According to it you can deliver either a contributed or topic contributed paper OR a poster, not both.

Each participant may do up to one (1) activity from each of categories A-I:

• Deliver a main presentation (one of the following):
  • Present an invited paper
  • Serve on an invited panel
  • Present a contributed or topic-contributed paper
  • Present a contributed or topic-contributed poster
  • Present in a speed session
  • Serve as a discussant, panelist, or other presenter in a topic-contributed session
• Chair a session
• Present an invited poster
• Present an introductory overview lecture
• Teach a short course or workshop for the Professional Development program
• Lead a roundtable (coffee or lunch) or speak at a speaker luncheon
• Present in a first-time invited memorial session (first time a memorial session has been submitted and designated for a particular deceased person)
• Present in a late-breaking session
• Serve as a discussant in an invited session

While the above guidelines allow for multiple presenting roles within the JSM program, please note that a person cannot hold multiple roles within one session. In addition, the participation rules do not preclude individuals from being co-authors of as many papers as they wish or from organizing multiple sessions. Only the JSM Program Chair, with ample justification, can grant exceptions to the above rules.
