Preclinical research designed to inform clinical translational research is also permitted.

Ongoing original research is acceptable/encouraged from individuals receiving career research training.
- Research Description (Trainees Only): Individuals who are developing their research plan but have not yet initiated the studies are welcome/encouraged to provide a description of their current plans, including hypotheses, number of subjects, proposed methods and procedures, statistical analysis, expected results, research skills to be acquired, and a description of how the research plan will support career development.
- Theoretical/Commentary: Abstracts addressing issues related to clinical health including (but not limited to) policy, trends in the field, treatment strategies, mechanisms of action and methodological issues. No data is required and no concluding statement is necessary.
- Literature Review: Abstracts should provide a scholarly discussion of a specific topic via review of the current literature. The abstract does not need to present data, but a concluding statement about the findings is required.
