Abstracts for poster presentations are being accepted for the 9th Annual Symposium of the Canadian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences, to be held at the Crowne Plaza, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, May 24 - 27, (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday) 2006. Abstracts in all areas of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences will be accepted.

The deadline for submission is Thursday, February 16th, and authors will be informed of acceptance by Friday, March 3, 2006.

Posters will be displayed on Thursday, May 25 OR Friday, May 26. Authors must be present to discuss their work during all break periods.

All submitted posters will be reviewed by a scientific review committee. Posters presented should contain original work. However, in exceptional cases work presented elsewhere within the last 12 months may be considered. Such work must be highly original and deemed of high importance by the abstract review committee to merit a second presentation. Work that has been presented elsewhere must be clearly acknowledged with the name of the meeting, the date of the original presentation, and referenced to the publication if abstract has been published.

Abstracts must be submitted in English, must contain an adequate body of data, with the Purpose, Methods, Results and Conclusion headings, and be free of typographical errors. The length of the abstract must not exceed 250 words, with the title in Sentence case, bold, and the name of the presenter italicized. Do not include tables or illustrations in the abstract. For text use Times, 11-point. Use the Symbol font for symbols and Greek characters. Be sure your abstract includes the title of your abstract, and all author names and addresses.

Detailed Submission Guidelines can be found on the CSPS website.

To submit an abstract, please complete and submit this form, and send the abstract under separate cover to CSPS, by email, as an attachment in Microsoft Word format (.doc). The attachment file name should be the last (family) name of the corresponding author of the abstract, and the subject line of your email should include your name and the complete abstract title.

Faxed submissions will not be accepted.

Posters will be displayed on Velcro panels, and presenters must mount their work using Velcro dots or pushpins. (presenters must bring their own pins or Velcro dots) The boards are 4' high by 8'' across.

(As with all scientific meetings the attendees are expected to pay for their registration and all associated costs to attend the meeting. If you are not able to cover all the costs to attend the meeting then we will not be able to accept your abstract and it will not be included in the list of presentations at the meeting. CSPS does not send out letters of invitations to attendees, nor can we provide financial help or assist with visas.)
