The poster session at the 11th Annual James E. Clyburn Health Disparities Lecture (to be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 6 at the USC Alumni Center). will showcase
health disparities research and practice being conducted by faculty, staff and students
at the University of South Carolina. Abstracts submitted by individuals from other
academic institutions and community organizations describing their efforts to eliminate
health disparities are also welcomed. This poster session is an opportunity for individuals
to share their health disparities research and practice with others and address this
year's theme: "We Can't Wait - Health Equity Now".
Structured abstracts of 300 words or less that describe health disparities research,
particularly in areas of the science of health disparities, social justice, and special
populations, may be submitted. This includes abstracts previously presented at conferences
and/or published in peer-reviewed journals, provided that there are no restrictions
by the conference and/or journal. All abstracts will be reviewed using a peer review
process. A poster session will be held during the reception immediately following
the lecture. Due to space restrictions, a limited number of abstracts (those receiving
the highest scores) will be selected for the poster session. Other abstracts will
be printed in the poster booklet with permission from the abstract authors.
Submission and acceptance of an abstract implies that at least one of the authors
will be present during the poster session. Additional information about the poster
session will be emailed to the corresponding authors of selected abstracts prior to
the event.
The abstract submission deadline is Friday, March 9.
Submit abstracts electronically using the following link: Abstract Submission Form.
