Submission of late-breaking abstracts will be reviewed under the following criteria: The abstract contains work that is original and has not been previously submitted to, presented at, or under consideration for any other scientific meeting, including the regular abstract submission. The work is significant to clinical, translational or basic science; novel; uses appropriate study design, analytical methods and experimental methods; and is clearly and logically written. Abstracts selected for late-breaking presentation will feature newsworthy and cutting-edge information that was not available at the time of the regular abstract submission. Authors will be required to explain why their abstract is considered important or late breaking. To be considered for presentation at the 2009 Annual Meeting, late-breaking abstracts must be submitted via the Annual Meeting Web site, www.annualmeeting.aaaai.org, by December 1. Late-breaking abstracts are not intended to offer a second deadline for regular abstract submissions.
