Thank you for your interest in submitting a hot topic abstract to the Alzheimer's Association International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease 2011 (AAICAD). We will accept abstracts for both oral and poster presentations.

Criteria for acceptance
The Scientific Program Committee will consider the following criteria in their review of submitted abstracts:

• Quality of scientific research
• Relevance to Alzheimer’s disease and related neurological disorders
• Late-breaking research/newness of information
• Potential impact on neurodegenerative disease research

All presenting authors must register and pay for the conference in order to present.
 
All abstracts accepted for presentation are embargoed until the date and time of presentation at the conference, unless the Alzheimer's Association provides written notice of change of date and/or time in advance.
 
Embargo is the prohibition for copyright reasons from releasing any content from an accepted abstract to the public until after it has been presented at ICAD. Prior to presentation at ICAD, authors may not release information to the news media or the public, nor publish the results in any manner, and must ensure that colleagues and other organizations or institutions are aware of this policy. Violation of the embargo may include retraction of the accepted abstract and/or loss of privileges of presenting research at ICAD in the future.
 
The abstract submission process takes place from Monday, April 25, 2011  to Monday, May 9, 2011 at 11:59 pm CT. 
 
Contact Nicole Sanders (Nicole.sanders@alz.org) with any questions.
 
Regards,
