2024 Virtual Conference Research Forum Submission Form

SPPCP Research Forum Information and Submission Guidelines 

As part of the 2024 SPPCP Virtual Conference, we are hosting a Research Forum to provide an opportunity to share and disseminate research, including research-in-progress, or quality improvement projects to virtual conference attendees. Research Forum submissions must include an SPPCP member in the research team.  

The format of the Research Forum is as follows: 

  • Live 7-minute oral presentation on Tuesday, May 21st, followed by a 5-minute question and answer session with conference attendees. Each presentation should address the following components: 

  • Introduction and context 

  • Background

  • Discussion 

SPPCP Research Forum Awards 

Research awards will be presented at the closing of the virtual conference on May 21st, and announced on the SPPCP listserv and social media accounts.  

Abstract Publication 

Abstracts from the Research Forum may be published in a future edition of the Journal of Pain and Palliative Care Pharmacotherapy. Results and conclusions are required for your abstract to be published in the journal. Works in progress are encouraged for the Research Forum but will not be included in the publication of abstracts in the journal. Updates to abstracts will be accepted after the Research Forum deadline to allow for previous works in progress to be published in the journal. Details of these journal deadlines will be provided to accepted presenters. Authors may also choose to opt-out of having their abstract published.
