Call for Abstracts for the 11th Annual AACI CRI Meeting

The AACI Clinical Research Innovation (CRI) Steering Committee is currently soliciting abstracts for the 11th Annual AACI CRI Meeting that will be held July 9-11 in Chicago. This year’s meeting theme will focus on strategies to maximize innovation to advance cancer clinical research. The purpose of the abstracts is to inform meeting attendees about clinical trials office challenges and solutions implemented at AACI cancer centers.

Updates to the 2019 Submission Process

This year, authors will be asked to submit their abstract to a specific category: Regulatory, Training & Quality Assurance, Finance/CCSG/PRMS, Trial Recruitment & Disparities Research, Trial Start-up, Clinical Operations, or Investigator Initiated Trials. These categories were created to help organize the abstracts and streamline the review process. Also this year, abstracts will be submitted online. The online submission tool will open in March. In the meantime, you may draft your abstract using the abstract template.

Three abstracts will be selected for oral presentation at the meeting. Up to two authors of each winning abstract will receive complimentary meeting registration or a refund for a previously paid meeting registration fee. While AACI encourages collaboration with external organizations, only employees of AACI member cancer centers are eligible for complimentary meeting registration. 

All authors who submit abstracts are encouraged to present a poster and discuss their findings during the poster session at the meeting. Information about the poster session is forthcoming.
