All investigators in the field of clinical pharmacy and therapeutics, both ACCP members and nonmembers, are invited to submit abstracts of papers to be considered for presentation at the 2009 ACCP/ESCP International Congress on Clinical Pharmacy, April 24–28, in Orlando, Florida. Abstracts must be submitted online at http://accp.confex.com/accp/2009sp/cfp.cgi and may be submitted in one of the following categories:

• Late-Breakers: Abstracts must describe original research in education, therapeutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacoeconomics, pharmacoepidemiology, or pharmacogenomics. Abstracts that describe in vitro or animal research are welcome. Abstracts will be evaluated on originality, hypothesis/objectives, study design, results, and conclusions. Papers will be assigned to platform format based on the desire of the presenter and the recommendation of the reviewers.
• Pediatric Research and Practice Abstracts: In conjunction with the Pediatric Pharmacy Advocacy Group (PPAG), the Congress is accepting abstracts in Pediatric Pharmacy Practice and Pharmacology.
  • Pediatric Pharmacy Scientific/Research Abstracts presented at ACCP-PPAG report the results of a scientific investigation or a clinical observation involving some aspect of pharmacotherapy. Scientific investigations can be clinical, basic, or translational and are either hypothesis-driven or descriptive.
  • Pediatric Pharmacy Practice Abstracts typically describe programs, systems, or projects that are innovative, creative, and cost-effective and that improve practice in pediatric pharmacy. We will accept Scientific, Case Reports, Research-in-Progress, and Encore presentations.
• Resident and Fellow Research-in-Progress: Submission and evaluation criteria are those of an Original Research presentation except that the research effort is ongoing.
• Student Submissions: Submission criteria are those of an Original Research presentation. Partially completed data are acceptable for inclusion. Abstracts should provide an assessment of the likelihood of project completion by date of presentation. The presenting author must be a student.

Abstracts must be submitted online at http://accp.confex.com/accp/2009sp/cfp.cgi. The deadline to submit abstracts in the Late-Breakers, Pediatric Research and Practice, Resident and Fellow Research-in-Progress, and Student Submission categories is midnight, Pacific Standard Time, on Monday, December 15, 2008. Authors will be notified by e-mail of acceptance of their papers by January 23, 2009. For more information, please contact Emma Webb, Education Project Manager, at (913) 492-3311 or [email protected].
