The abstract submissions are only accepted online. The deadline for submitting your poster abstract is Monday, July 18, 2005, by 11:59pm.

We are pleased to announce that the World Federation of Hemophilia has once again graciously offered to publish a number of our highest-rated abstracts in a future issue of Haemophilia. This will provide a wider exposure in a citable journal for some abstracts presented at NHF’s Annual Meeting. Haemophilia requires a signed Blackwell Publishing Copyright Form from each of the authors or lead authors; otherwise abstracts cannot be submitted to Haemophilia for review or publication. The form can be retrieved from the online Poster Abstract submission form. The number of accepted abstracts will also be published in HemAware’s Poster Abstracts Booklet.

Poster abstract submission can only be done online. The online abstract submission provides an electronic review system, allows designation of lead author versus additional author and will alert the submitter of incomplete submissions.

Please consider submitting your work as an abstract. Among reasons to do so are:

• this year’s Annual Meeting will be very exciting and informative
  
• abstracts from among those accepted will be published in HemAware Poster Abstracts booklet
  
• top abstracts will be published in the international journal, Haemophilia

As in past years, authors of abstracts accepted for the Annual Meeting will be expected to discuss their abstracts on Friday, October 28, 2005 at 1PM during the Poster Session.

Instructions for submitting abstracts:

• Please follow the submission steps, being sure to check the appropriate box for the subject area of the abstract.
  
• The abstract should be as thorough as possible, including:
  
  1. specific objective of the study
  methods used, if pertinent
  
  summary of results obtained
  
  conclusions reached (it is not sufficient to state: “results forthcoming”)
  
• Include all authors and their affiliations. The presenting/lead author’s name should be listed at the top.
  
• Type carefully—single space, with an extra space between the authors/affiliations section and the text

Lead authors of Poster Abstracts will be notified of acceptance by late August.

Please be sure to submit your abstract by the deadline: Monday, July 18, 2005. Abstracts will not be accepted after the deadline.

Abstract selection policy:
The listing of professional affiliations and any other pertinent affiliation is necessary for the review process because the members of the review committee will not review abstracts from his/her own institution.

Abstracts can be submitted for the following categories:

• Adolescent



• Clinical Research



• Collaboration/Team Models



• Financial Issues/Reimbursement



• Outreach-Integration



• Peer Support Models



• Psychosocial Issues in Hemophilia



• Women’s Issues
