7th AIDS and Economics Pre-Conference
Location: Washington, D.C.
Date: July 20 and 21, 2012
Abstract submission deadline: February 15, 2012
The International AIDS Economics Network (IAEN) is now welcoming the submission of abstracts through February 15, 2012 for the upcoming 7th AIDS and Economics Pre-Conference.
This call is open to individuals who are conducting research on the issue of HIV/AIDS and economics. Typical topics in past Pre-Conferences have included HIV costing, cost-effectiveness analysis, resource allocation and expenditure tracking, AIDS and the workplace, AIDS and the private sector, economics and behavior change, and socio-economic impact assessments
In addition to individual submissions, groups who would like to propose a panel on one particular topic may do so by proposing presenters and abstracts as a group. The panel should not comprise more than four abstracts. Reviewers reserve the option of selecting a panel to present, selecting individual abstracts within a panel or rejecting all abstracts within a proposed panel.
Winning papers will be presented during a 2-day symposium on July 20 and 21, 2012, immediately prior to the XIX International AIDS Conference to be held on July 22-27 in Washington, D.C.
Organizers will provide scholarships for some presenters from developing countries to attend the IAEN preconference and will accept other abstracts for presentation but without scholarship. Scholarships will cover travel, per diem, and conference registration fees for the XIX International AIDS Conference. All others will be invited to attend and present at their own expense.
Abstracts submissions should be structured as follows:
Background: Indicate the purpose and objective of the research, the hypothesis that was tested or a description of the problem being analyzed or evaluated.
Methods: Describe the setting/location for the study, study design, study population, ethical considerations, data collection and methods of analysis used.
Results: Present as clearly and detailed as possible the findings/outcome of the study, with specific results in summarized form.
Conclusions: Briefly discuss the data and main outcome of the study. Emphasize the significance for HIV prevention, treatment, care and/or support, and implications of the results.
The abstract text body is limited to 300 words. Titles are limited to 50 words. Please limit your abstract to one page when printed in MS Word document format. Applicants may feel free to submit the same abstracts to both the AIDS and Economics Pre-Conference and the XIX International AIDS Conference.
Please submit abstracts or any questions to Ramona Godbole at iaen2007@gmail.com. Please indicate in your submission if you would like to be considered for the available scholarships and if you wish to submit individually or as a panel.
