ENDO MEETING REGISTRATION

Abstract submission does not automatically register you for ENDO. Presenting authors must be registered for your abstract to be included in the ENDO 2024 program. Upon submission, the presenting author of the abstract agrees to register and attend ENDO to present the abstract. Online registration is live, PDF registration forms, and program information are available at www.endocrine.org/endo2024.

SUBMITTING YOUR ABSTRACT

Submission Steps

You will be prompted to complete the following steps when submitting an abstract:

If you are unable to finish your abstract submission in one sitting, you must at least complete Step 1: Abstract Title, in order to have your submission saved and be able to return to the abstract submission site and complete any time prior to the deadline. All abstracts must be completed and submitted by the abstract submission deadline, Wednesday, April 10, 2024, at 11:59 PM EST US. If you do not complete the submission prior to the deadline, your abstract will not be reviewed.

Step 1: Abstract Title

Abstract titles should be short and specific, and entered in title case (the first letter of each word is capitalized, except for certain small words, such as articles, conjunctions, and prepositions).

For assistance with putting your abstract title in title case, visit www.capitalizemytitle.com

Example: This Is a Properly Formatted Title

Step 2: Presentation Type

You may select your abstract to be considered for an Oral Presentation, Rapid Fire Presentation, or Traditional Poster Presentation. Please Note: Authors of accepted abstracts will receive further information and technical guidelines on how to prepare for their oral, rapid fire, or traditional poster presentation.

Oral Presentation

The highest-ranked abstracts are selected for Oral Session Presentations. These sessions will take place in Boston June 1-4, 2024. Presenting authors will have dedicated time to give a 10-minute presentation using slides to summarize their abstract followed by a brief 3-5 minute question and answer session. Note: Abstracts not accepted for an Oral Presentation will automatically be considered for Rapid Fire Poster Presentations.

Rapid Fire Presentation

Rapid Fire Poster Presentations will take place in Boston, June 1-4, 2024. Presenting authors will give a 2-5-minute presentation with no more than 5 slides, highlighting the key points, so interested attendees can ask questions about your work in the subsequent communications. Select this option if you do not wish to be considered for an oral presentation and want to provide a quick synopsis of your work. The Rapid Fire Poster Presentations will be delivered in session rooms prior to oral abstract presentations.

Traditional Poster Presentation (Printed Poster)

Poster Presentations will take place in-person in Boston on Saturday, June 1, 2024, through Monday, June 3, 2024. Presenting authors will be able to display a traditional poster on an expansive poster floor. Poster presenters will be assigned one day to display their printed poster at the conference. In addition, poster presenters will be able to stand next to their printed poster during a Meet-and-Greet session. Presenting authors will bring their poster to be presented in the exhibit hall and receive comments and questions on their poster(s) from meeting participants. Select this option if you do not wish to be considered for an oral or rapid-fire presentation and want to take advantage of presenting your work in-person and not on an electronic screen.

Step 3: Science Type and Topic

Basic, clinical, and translational scientific abstracts, clinical trials are accepted for submission across 100 topical areas, and clinical case reports are accepted for submission in 16 topical areas. View the complete list of 2024 Abstract Topical Areas.

  • Basic Scientific Research - Submissions should report basic endocrine research (e.g., physiological or molecular biological research in cell cultures or animal models).
  • Translational Scientific Research - Submissions should report mechanistic endocrine research in humans, human tissues, tumor cells, or animal models that have a direct relationship to human physiology or disease.
  • Clinical Scientific Research - Submissions should report endocrine research investigating or concerning specific disease states (e.g., evaluation of diagnostic techniques and therapies).
  • Clinical Trial - Submissions should report data about the safety or potential benefit of an endocrine intervention such as a medication, device, teaching concept, training method, or behavioral change in human subjects.
  • Clinical Case Report - In partial contrast to the requirements for general Clinical Case Report submissions, submissions for late-breaking Clinical Case Reports should report completely novel findings that provide meaningful new insight into the etiology and/or treatment of endocrine disorders. In addition to consideration for poster presentation at ENDO, late-breaking Clinical Case Reports will be considered for use in other educational formats, online or in print.

Step 4: Authors and Disclosures

Edits to authors will not be accepted after the abstract submission site has closed. Please review this information carefully to ensure you have included all authors. You may also change the presenting author here at any time up until the abstract submission site closes (NOTE: There can be only one Presenting Author in your submission).

Enter contact information and disclosures for the presenting author. Based on the disclosures entered for the presenting author, complete the Conflict of Interest (COI) resolution and recording permissions. If you change the presenting authors, you must also update the COI and permissions pertinent to the new presenting author.

Disclosures

FACULTY DISCLOSURE OF RELEVANT FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIPS & RESOLUTION OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

In accordance with requirements of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Endocrine Society requires all individuals who are in a position to control the content of a CME activity to disclose all financial relationships with any commercial interest that produces, markets, resells, or distributes healthcare goods or services consumed by or used on patients.

Financial relationships are defined as remuneration paid to you in any amount that has occurred within the last 24 months when these two conditions apply:

  • You have financial relationship with a commercial interest.
  • You have the opportunity to affect CME content related to the products or services of that commercial interest.

If a potential conflict of interest exists as a result of a financial relationship, this will need to be resolved prior to the activity. All financial relationships must be disclosed to learners at the beginning of the CME activity. If no financial relationships exist, learners must be informed of that as well.

Step 5: COI and Permissions

Conflict of Interest

If you listed a conflict of interest for your abstract presentation when you completed your disclosures and a potential conflict exists as a result of a financial relationship, this will need to be resolved prior to the activity. Please complete this step to assist with resolving any potential conflict of interests so that the Endocrine Society may provide CME on your presentation.

Session Recording Permissions

The Endocrine Society will record your presentation, with your consent and will make the recording available through Endocrine Society distribution channels. In this section, please select your options and provide requested information here.

Step 6: Abstract Body

  • Character Limit: Maximum of 2,500 characters, including punctuation (not spaces), for the text of your abstract body. Figures, tables, graphs will not be accepted. References are allowed but not required and should be included in the body of your abstract. If you include references, they will count toward the 2,500-character limit.
  • Abstract Body: Select "Enter Abstract Text" below to type in your abstract or copy and paste it from an existing document, or "Upload a File Containing Your Abstract". To preserve formatting and scientific characters in your abstract text, uploading a file containing your abstract is the preferred option. You may upload any .doc or .docx file, but the total character limit must not exceed 2,500. PLEASE NOTE: To preserve the blind peer review process, do not include any identifying information (institution or author names) in your abstract. All co-authors/primary investigators, their institutional affiliations, and any disclosures must be entered in Step 4: AUTHORS AND DISCLOSURES.
  • Graphics (e.g., figures and tables) are not accepted in the body of your abstract.

IMPORTANT: Please carefully review your abstract and author information before finalizing your submission. Presenting authors may edit their abstract by returning to the abstract submission site at any time prior to the submission deadline. No edits can be made once the submission site closes. Accepted abstracts will be published online in the ENDO program, in the ENDO mobile app (if applicable), and in the Journal of the Endocrine Society (JES). Authors will not have an opportunity to review or approve proofs of their abstract before it appears online and in JES, and corrections after publication in JES are not possible.

Step 7: Submission Questions

  • Question 1: Principal Investigator – provide the PI of your research.
  • Question 2: Religious Conflicts – indicate if any conflicts exist which would prevent you from presenting on certain days (Saturday or Sunday).
  • Question 3: Embargo and Publication Restriction – indicate if you do not want your full abstract posted online until the date of your presentation.
  • Question 4: Basic Science Pathways – if you are submitting a Basic Science abstract, please select a Science Pathway. Selecting the Basic Science Pathway will help attendees search and find your abstract.
  • Question 5: Quality Improvement and Patient Safety – Indicate if abstract covers quality improvement and patient safety.

Step 8: Payment

The ENDO 2024 late-breaking abstract fee is $150 (USD) per abstract. Abstract fees are non-refundable. Visa, Master Card, and American Express are accepted. Note: Paying the abstract submission fee does not register you for ENDO 2024. All abstract presenters must register to attend ENDO 2024. Please visit ENDO 2024 | Endocrine Society for registration information.

If you are having difficulty finalizing your payment, please contact [email protected]. Phone: +1 (217) 398-1792

USE OF THE WORK

The Author(s) agrees that when reproducing the Work or extracts from it, the Author(s) will credit first publication of the Work in the Endocrine Society publication by name, Journal of the Endocrine Society.

The Author(s) retains the following nonexclusive rights:

  • The Author(s) reserves the right after publication of the Work to use all or part of the Work in compilations or other publications of the Author's own works, and to make copies of all or part of the Work for the Author's use for lectures, classroom instruction, or similar uses.
  • The Author(s) reserves the right to post the Work (including the Endocrine Society's formatted PDF) after final publication on the Author(s)'s web page provided that a link to the article in the Endocrine Society's online publication is included, Journal of the Endocrine Society.
  • The Author(s) reserves the right to post and update the Work on pre-print services provided that the Endocrine Society-formatted files (HTML and PDF) are not used and that a link to the Work in the Endocrine Society's online publication is included, Journal of the Endocrine Society.
  • The Author(s) reserves the right to deposit his or her final accepted manuscript in the Author(s)'s funding body's archive or designated repository; provided that a link to the Work in the Endocrine Society's online publication is included, Journal of the Endocrine Society.

PROTECTION OF THE WORK

  • The Author(s) authorizes the Endocrine Society to take such steps as it considers necessary at its own expense in the Author(s)'s name and on their behalf if it believes that a third party is infringing or is likely to infringe the copyright in the Work.
  • These Terms are governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware. The Author(s) agrees that any action arising out of or in any way relating to these Terms may be brought only in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, and the Author(s) hereby consents to the jurisdiction, venue and convenience of such courts. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if it is in writing and signed by the Endocrine Society. No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, void or unenforceable by any court having competent jurisdiction, the remainder of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.

Patient Consent (For Case Reports)

All patients have a right to privacy and personally identifying information should not be revealed without consent. Case reports should follow International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) recommendations. Authors must attest that they have secured all required patient consent forms, to be made available to the Endocrine Society on request. Identifying information, including names, initials, exact dates, or hospital numbers should not be published in written descriptions, figures, or photographs unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that an identifiable patient be shown the materials to be published. Nonessential identifying details should be omitted. Informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt that anonymity can be maintained. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of patients is inadequate protection of anonymity. The Endocrine Society has the final decision on what information is potentially identifying and when patient consent is required.
