39th Union World Conference on Lung Health –
Conference Theme:
Global Threats on Lung Health —
The Importance of Health Systems Responses
The
39th Union World Conference on Lung Health and the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention are pleased to announce
co-sponsorship of a late-breaker session related to tuberculosis.
All aspects of TB control, elimination, and research (including
basic and clinical science, epidemiology, social, behavioural,
psychosocial, educational aspects, health care delivery and public
health) are welcomed for presentation during the late-breaker
session. In keeping with the spirit of a late-breaker session we ask
that only new, innovative, and significant findings that have
occurred as of May 1, 2008, or for which information has just become
available, be submitted for late-breaker presentations in the form
of a 1-page electronic file.
The late-breaker session will consist of 8 oral presentations of
10 minutes each, followed by 5 minutes of questions. The
presentations will be selected from abstracts submitted to the
late-breaker co-chairs by July 25, 2008. Persons submitting
abstracts will be notified of acceptance or rejection of their
abstract by August 15, 2008.
A small number of travel grants are available for presenters of
accepted abstracts who require funding to attend the conference.
If you intend to request support, an indication of your desire and
rationale for consideration for a travel grant must be submitted
with the abstract. The reviewing committee will be blinded to
the request for travel funds.
Submissions should include a cover letter with i) a statement
that the work has not been previously submitted for consideration to
the general portion of The Union meeting, ii) the date by which the
work/analysis was mostly complete, iii) a request and rationale for
travel support if so desired, and iv) the address, phone and FAX
number, and e-mail address where the submitter may be contacted the
week of August 11, 2008.
