Session Vaccine Preventable Disease Epidemiology Violence Epidemiology Other Potpourri Other Potpourri: Poster Session Individuals should submit material only if they are committed to presenting the paper or poster themselves or to finding a substitute willing to register, attend the meeting and present the paper or poster instead. Please follow the general instructions for abstract submission on the web site. Abstract submission deadline for contributed abstracts is February 10, 2005. Abstracts relating to data that have not been collected as of the abstract deadline should be submitted as proposals for a late breaker session. Instructions for Epidemiology Section late breaker sessions will appear on the Epidemiology Section web site in June 2005. The expected deadline for late breakers is July 15, 2005. Oral presentations at contributed sessions are generally 10 minutes in length. An additional 5 minutes will be available for discussion and questions from the audience. Presenters at poster sessions should display their work and be available to answer questions throughout the scheduled 90 minute poster session. Preferences for oral versus poster presentation will be considered, but the program committee will consider all abstracts for both oral and poster categories. The Epidemiology Section also invites the submission of proposals for INVITED OR SPECIAL SESSIONS related to the theme of the Annual Meeting, "Evidence Based Policy and Practice". Sessions on emerging issues in epidemiologic methods and research, the future of epidemiology, or epidemiology and public health practice will be appropriate submissions. Invited or Special Sessions: Proposals: Proposals for Invited or Special Sessions (i.e. sessions with invited speakers) must be submitted by mail or email (no faxes, please) to the Program Planner. The proposal should be a brief (not more than two pages) overview including the title, purpose, relevance and importance of the proposed session, and the proposed invited speakers, their topics, and their affiliations. Include your full mailing address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers. Please note the review process for INVITED OR SPECIAL SESSIONS described below. Format: The proposal should include a detailed schedule with: proposed presider(s); specific topics with the presenters' full names underlined plus the full names of all authors (This should correspond to the abstract submitted on line.); a time schedule within the session (begin the session at 0:00 hrs and end it at 1:30). We suggest that Invited or Special Sessions allow time for a discussant. The session proposal should include all author information for the organizer, presider and discussants, if any. A presentation at an Invited or Special Session may be up to 30 minutes in length. Deadline: Invited or Special session proposals should be submitted to the Epidemiology Section Program Planner no later than the end of February 2005. Invited or Special session abstracts must be submitted starting March 15 through the deadline on May 3, 2005. A complete abstract for EACH proposed presentation must be submitted at the web site, with an indication of the Invited or Special session to which it belongs. An abstract submitted as part of an Invited or Special session should not be submitted as an individual contributed abstract.
