Click here to view a checklist of the information needed for abstract submission. Please carefully review the abstract prior to its submission. Note that if an abstract has been entered but the “Save and Complete” button has not been clicked, it is not considered submitted and will not be reviewed. Edits to the abstract (other than designating a different category) may be made online after submission up until the deadline of 17:00 GMT - 7, May 15, 2009. Editing a submitted abstract requires use of the abstract ID number that you will receive by email after you have completed the submission process (see Notification and Correspondence below). You may only have one incomplete abstract at a time. You cannot start a second abstract without completing and submitting the first.

Accepted abstracts will be published in the AIDS Vaccine 2009 Abstract Book and distributed to registrants. Abstracts will also be published as a supplement to a scientific journal related to the field.
Copyright and Webcast Policy
By submitting an abstract, authors and co-authors transfer any copyrights and grant permission to AIDS Vaccine 2009 to audio/video record oral presentations.
Abstract Selection Process
Abstract submissions will be peer reviewed by the Conference Organizers and members of the Scientific Organizing Committee. To minimize subjectivity in the scoring process, any reviewer with a conflict of interest (as defined by NIH rules, e.g., co-authorship, financial interest, or scientific/personal conflict with the authors that could affect objectivity of scoring) will be excluded from scoring or discussing the abstract in question. In the final rankings, mean score and standard deviation will be calculated, and the reviewers' scores will be anonymous. Abstract acceptance is based upon abstract quality, the potential significance of the observations, and the rigor with which the scientific methods were applied. Further, the Conference Organizers consider thematic balance in determining which abstracts will be presented orally.
