Submit abstracts online at http://accp.confex.com/accp/2009sp/cfp.cgi.

All investigators in the field of clinical pharmacy and therapeutics, both ACCP/ESCP members and nonmembers, are invited to submit abstracts to be considered for poster presentation at the 2009 ACCP/ESCP International Congress on Clinical Pharmacy.

Abstracts may be submitted in one of the following categories:

• Original Research: Abstracts must describe original research in education, health sciences, therapeutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacoeconomics, pharmacoepidemiology, or pharmacogenomics. Encore submissions are welcome.
• Clinical Pharmacy Forum: Abstracts must describe the delivery, development, justification, or documentation of innovative clinical pharmacy services. Abstracts dealing with clinical services payment or cost analysis are encouraged. Encore submissions are welcome.
• Resident and Fellow Research-in-Progress: Submission and evaluation criteria are those of an Original Research presentation except that the research effort is ongoing. The presenting author must be a resident or fellow.
• 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.
• Pediatric Research and Practice Abstracts: In conjunction with the Pediatric Pharmacy Advocacy Group, ACCP is accepting two categories of abstracts in pediatric pharmacy practice and pharmacology. 1) 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 should be either hypothesis-driven or descriptive. 2) Pediatric Pharmacy Practice Abstracts typically describe programs, systems, or projects that are innovative, creative, and cost-effective and that improve practice in pediatric pharmacy. Scientific presentations, case reports, research-in-progress, and encore presentations will be accepted.

Submission Deadline

All abstracts accepted for presentation (with the exception of Encore presentations) in the Original Research and Clinical Pharmacy Forum categories will automatically be entered in the Best Poster Award competition. Judging of finalists will occur during the poster sessions at the meeting. The deadline to submit abstracts is Saturday, November 1, 2008, midnight, Pacific Standard Time. Authors will be notified by e-mail of acceptance of their papers by November 30, 2008.
