CONTRIBUTED PAPER PRESENTATIONS – Particular advantages of the contributed paper format are the ability to introduce a topic and receive feedback from a professional audience without investing a substantial amount of time into the research being presented. Contributed papers are scheduled to provide an opportunity for preliminary results and high level details to be presented. A maximum of 8 contributed papers will be accepted for presentation based upon feedback from a review committee.
Each contributed paper presentation will be given a total of 30 minutes. It is recommended at least 5-10 minutes of this time be reserved for questions.
Contributed Paper presentations will be given on Thursday, April 23rd and Friday, April 24th.
IN ADVANCE – An abstract of your contributed paper is required by April 1st, 2015. It can be a copy of your presentation slides, a copy of your handouts, a detailed draft outline of your presentation or a draft copy of a manuscript. Email your abstract as an attachment to frontiersinbiostatistics@gmail.com. An email confirming receipt of the abstract will be sent to you. The review committee will notify you if your paper has been selected no later than April 8th, 2015.
Please note that very large attachments may not be able to pass through email servers. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please contact John Keighley at (913) 588-7391.
