General Information February 24, 2012 for Practice-based and Scientific Abstracts
March 30, 2012 for Residency Project Abstracts
All practitioners, investigators, and post-doctoral trainees in the field of pediatric clinical pharmacy, whether members of PPAG or not, are invited to submit abstracts of papers to be considered for platform or poster presentation at the 21st Annual PPAG Meeting and 2012 Pediatric Pharmacy Conference. The conference will be held at the Houston Marriott at the Texas Medical Center in Houston, TX. Poster and Platform Presentations will be held on Friday, April 20, 2012.
All research and practice abstracts should be no longer than 450 words. Research abstracts will be published in the Journal of Pediatric Pharmacology and Therapeutics. Platform Presentations and Best Practice Awards will be chosen from the abstracts submitted.
There are two tracks for abstract submissions:
Research/Scientific Track: February 24, 2012 deadline
Research abstracts presented at PPAG report the results of a scientific investigation or a clinical observation (case report) involving some aspect of pharmacotherapy. Scientific investigations can be either clinical, basic, or translational and are either hypothesis-driven or descriptive in nature. To be accepted for presentation, research abstracts must have either preliminary or final results. Abstracts without results will not be accepted in this category. The abstract may be submitted in any of the following categories: Scientific, Case Report, and Encore Presentations (a poster that has been presented and published elsewhere. The original citation must accompany encore presentations).
All submissions will be eligible for the Young Investigator or Best Original Paper awards. The finalists will be judged by a panel of judges during the poster and platform presentation sessions. Primary authors may be considered for all awards for which they are eligible, but may win only one award.
Outstanding Original Paper
Outstanding Original Paper Investigators will be evaluated on the basis of their written abstract and the quality of their presentation at the Meeting. The winner will receive complimentary registration to next year's Annual Meeting and a framed certificate.
Christensen Memorial Young Investigator Award
PPAG Young Investigator Award is available to investigators who have been in practive five (5) years or less . This award will be granted to the investigator based on their written abstract and the quality of their presentation at the Meeting.
Best and Innovative Pediatric Pharmacy Practice Abstracts typically describe programs, systems, or projects that are innovative, creative, cost-effective, and improve practice in pediatric pharmacy. BPA/IPPP Posters will be selected based on achievement of excellence in each of the four areas.
Winners of the Best Practice Award will be chosen from accepted abstracts. The program, system, or project can be an individual or collaborative effort in any type of practice setting, including academia, institutional, or ambulatory care. Unlike Research Abstracts, Best Practice Abstracts are not required to have final or preliminary data, but should include sufficient details about the rationale, process, and hypothesis of the impact should the program, system, or project be implemented. Accepted abstracts will be published in the Journal of Pediatric Pharmacology and Therapeutics.
Submissions should include any pictures, graphs, figures and data tables that supports the summary. Each of these must be clearly labeled and described.
Lexi-Comp Best Practice Awards
PPAG will award up to two (2) Best Practice Awards during the 21st Annual Meeting in Houston, TX. The awards are given to innovative and creative pharmacy programs that advance the mission, vision, and goals of the organization. Recipients of the award receive a plaque for the practice site and a certificate recognizing each contributor to the program. Award recipients will share their best practice during a presentation at the Annual Meeting and as a poster at the Annual Meeting.
The Best Practice Awards are generously supported by Lexi-Comp.
Each year the Pediatric Pharmacy Advocacy Group offers an opportunity for Post-doctoral trainees (Residents and Fellows) to present their projects to pediatric pharmacy practitioners from across North America.
Residents will be able to present their projects during the Bruce Parks Memorial Showcase on Thursday, April 19, 2012 or Saturday, April 21, 2012 during the 21st Annual PPAG Meeting and 2012 Pediatric Pharmacy Conference.
Presentations will be limited to 10 minutes in length. The format for the presentations is similar to the format used at regional residency conferences. Presentations can be on any pediatric-based project and may be a work-in-progress.
Abstracts can be no longer than 450 words in length. For useful tips in drafting your abstract, please visit: Guidelines for Abstract Preparation.
