The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) invites abstract submissions of clinical practices and/or original research for poster presentation. Abstracts will be peer-reviewed for quality, originality, and overall impact.

The submitting author must select the most appropriate subject category from the list below. The Clinical Vaccinology Course Planning Committee reserves the right to change the selected category to more appropriately reflect the abstract content.

All abstracts must be submitted in English and reflect original work. The data may have been published or presented at another scientific meeting and inclusion of updated information based on additional data generated and/or analyzed since a prior presentation is encouraged. Multiple submissions of the same abstract will automatically be rejected.

All accepted abstract presenters must register for the course and pay the appropriate registration fee by no later than October 27, 2017. See the Clinical Vaccinology Course website for information about the agenda, registration, and housing.
