Abstract Submission

The International Narcotics Research Conference 2008
Charleston, South Carolina, U.S.A.

Deadline: May 1, 2008

As many active participants as possible are welcome at INRC meetings. Abstracts should be provided for poster presentations, as well as all oral presentations including Symposia, Founder, and Plenary lectures. If you haven't been invited to give an oral presentation, please plan on preparing a poster. Some authors will be invited to give a short oral presentation after submission of an abstract.

Posters: To accommodate all posters on display for the duration of the meeting, poster boards are 4' by 8' but will be shared by two posters. Thus the maximum size for each poster presentation is 4 feet by 4 feet (height and width of 48 inches (120cm) each). However as space is needed between the two posters sharing a side, please use:

poster size: 44 inches high by 44 inches wide (110 cm by 110 cm)

Please bring your own push-pins to mount your poster to the board.

  You will find your abstract number in the abstract book which you will obtain when registering for the meeting in Charleston or earlier on the INRC website.
