Abstract Instructions
Abstracts may be submitted on any subject related to the general area of sex and/or gender differences to be considered for poster presentation only. PRESENTING AUTHORS MUST SUBMIT THEIR ABSTRACT USING THEIR OWN LOG IN (e.g. Advisors may not submit an abstract for a student under the advisor's account). More than one abstract may be submitted by each author.
Abstracts should be no longer than 2,000 characters including title, author, affiliations and spaces and prepared as a single paragraph, single-spaced. Abstracts should NOT contain photos, tables or references. Data must be original and not previously published. Please include any funding acknowledgements.
**Note: For Undergraduate Attendee Awards in lieu of an abstract, students should provide a short paragraph describing 1) how they identify as an underrepresented minority and 2) why they are interested in attending the OSSD conference.
The abstract form works on both PC and Mac computers with a current browser. However, if the form does not work correctly for you, please email the OSSD Central Office.
Once you "submit" your form, you cannot edit it. However, your entries are automatically saved, so that you may exit the form and all your information will still be listed when you log back into the form.
**All speakers including those in accepted symposium are required to submit an
abstract for their talk by the deadline**
