Rules & Guidelines-Late Breaking

1. YOU MAY BE FIRST AUTHOR OF MORE THAN ONE VOLUNTEERED SCIENTIFIC PAPER PROVIDED THAT EACH SUBMISSION REPRESENTS DISTINCT RESEARCH. Sponsorship or co-authorship of additional abstracts is permitted (see Sponsorship Rule #3).
    

2. Only the first author may present the paper, unless prior approval has been received from the Executive Officer/Director of the society to which the abstract is submitted. The first author must find a replacement speaker if more than one of his/her abstracts is programmed at the same time.
    

3. Each abstract form must be submitted or sponsored by a member of a Sponsoring Society, official Guest Society or a FASEB member society. Submission or sponsorship will be considered assurance of adherence to the rules and of the merit of the sponsored presentation. Sponsors of submitted abstracts should be assured that all authors listed on the abstract have had a significant role in the research being reported. If you have questions regarding the sponsorship of abstracts, please contact eb@faseb.org
   
   Student, Fellow, and Trainee members must have the abstract sponsored by a full regular member.  Associate, Corresponding and Affiliate members of FASEB may sponsor an abstract they wish to present themselves; however, they may not sponsor an abstract to be presented by someone else.  Exceptions: ASN Associate Members may sponsor abstracts. APS Affiliate Members may not serve as a sponsor, including sponsoring themselves. AAA Student/Postdoctoral members may sponsor their own abstracts.
    

4. With regard to research using human subjects, Experimental Biology endorses the protections embodied in the Basic Principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and their expansion in the regulations governing research supported by the U.S. Government (45 CFR Part 46; 56 FR 28003). Experimental Biology does not endorse and will not publish the results of research that was not conducted in
   accordance with these Principles. Investigations involving animals reported in abstracts must have been conducted in conformance with the FASEB Statement of Principles for the use of animals in research and education.
    

5. Each author must complete the Disclosure box when submitting an abstract.
    

6. Authors are not permitted to submit an abstract on work that has previously been published. Exception: if additional data/research is added to a previously published abstract the abstract may be accepted.
    

7. While it is rare for a submission not to be programmed, each society reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to decline any abstract viewed as inappropriate.
