CLOSED Call for Abstracts

While the deadline for accepting abstracts has passed, we encouraged all faculty named on an active R16 award and any trainee working in an R16-funded lab to submit abstracts for speaking and poster presentations at the SuRE Biennial '24 Conference. Because the SuRE R16 Program funds a wide variety of behavioral and biomedical science research, the conference will reflect that by showcasing diverse scientific disciplines. Your abstract will be evaluated, compiled, and electronically distributed to conference attendees based on your online submission. 

Submission deadline: Wed, May 1, 2024, and now closed
Poster and speaking notification: mid to late May 2024

The Sure Biennial '24 Conference is designed for faculty, trainees, and research administrative staff who meet specific R16 program requirements. For abstract submissions, faculty must be named on an active R16 award, and trainees must be working in an R16-funded lab. The deadline for submissions was Wed, May 1, 2024, and the portal is now closed.

We requested that abstracts be submitted as text only without figures or diagrams and that they follow the NIH formatting standards of 30 lines of text or less. Additional formatting instructions can be found at this link. 

Trainees were encouraged to submit an abstract, where they can request an oral presentation. If a trainee is selected for an oral presentation, they will be provided lodging during the conference for up to three nights at the Hilton Garden Inn Bethesda Downtown.
