Call for Abstracts
Opens Nov. 30, 2023, 8 a.m. ET
Closes Feb. 29, 2024, 11:59 p.m. ET
Information and Guidelines
All abstracts should be submitted using the online submission process. Be sure to review both the submission and abstract guidelines before you begin. If you have questions during this process, contact Sonia Smith at pe.nursing@umaryland.edu or 410-706-3767.
Submission Guidelines
Review the required information and abstract guidelines.
- In the case of multiple authors, we recommend that only the primary presenter (person who will present at SINI) submit the abstract and required information.
- The primary presenter must provide the required information for all co-authors at the time of submission, whether co-authors plan to attend SINI. Abstracts that name co-authors but fail to include the required information will be considered incomplete and will not be reviewed.
- Prepare your abstract as a separate Word document and have all information ready before starting the submission process.
- Select the appropriate category for your work: Education, Research or Practice.
- Indicate your preference for a podium or poster presentation. The review committee may request that you change from your preferred presentation format to the other.
- All accepted podium abstract presenters will be given 15 minutes to present live on their abstract with 5 minutes of Q&A during SINI (each 20 minutes max). All accepted poster presentations will be required to submit pre-recorded 5 minute presentation.
- Provide the title of your abstract as you want it to appear in the program.
- Copy and paste the text of your abstract into the box provided in the online form. The form will accept no more than 350 words. Longer abstracts will be truncated.
Notification
The primary presenter will receive email notification of the review committee's decision after April 1, 2024. The primary presenter is expected to relay this information to all co-authors. Winners of Outstanding Abstract awards will be notified during this time also.
Presenter Commitment and Registration
Your commitment to present and register as the primary presenter must be received on or before April 1, 2024. Failure to register by this deadline will constitute a decline to present. Presenters are expected to register to attend SINI.
Guidelines for Presentations
Podium Presentations
Three podium presentations are scheduled per hour. All accepted podium abstract presenters will be given 15 minutes to present live on their abstract with 5 minutes of Q&A during SINI (each 20 minutes max).
Poster Presentations
All accepted posters will be required to record a five-minute video presentation of their poster that will be available for all participants during and after SINI. In addition to virtual presentations, there will be a scheduled time for poster presenters to answer questions live. Additional details will be provided for accepted abstracts.
Awards for Outstanding Podium and Poster Presentations
Two abstracts will be chosen by the review committee for awards. The winners will be recognized during the conference, and their names will appear on the SINI website.
