The American College of Epidemiology invites the submission of abstracts for consideration for poster presentations at our annual meeting, which will be held at The Westin LaPaloma Resort & Spa, Tucson, AZ from September 14-16, 2008.  Poster presentations provide an opportunity for participants in the ACE annual meeting to share their work with interested colleagues in an informal, relaxed setting.

Poster sessions are prominently scheduled during the ACE meeting and several posters are selected for merit awards. This year's meeting theme is "Dawn of Evolutionary Epidemiology: Applying evolutionary theory in an epidemiologic context." We will be exploring how evolutionary theory can be used to generate hypotheses and explain phenomena such as the emergence of resistance to disease, lifecourse phenomena, and effects of contextual variables. Posters addressing the meeting theme are particularly encouraged; however, submissions from other areas of epidemiology are also welcome. Accepted abstracts will be published in the program and the Annals of Epidemiology. The deadline for abstract submission is June 1, 2008. For more information please visit www.acepidemiology.org


Abstracts should be prepared according to the instructions provided. Abstracts must be received online by June 1, 2008. Please submit your abstracts online at http://ees.elsevier.com/ace/.

FAX AND MAIL submissions will NOT be accepted.
