Oral/poster abstracts can be on any aspect of drug use disorder or addiction or on the actions of drugs of abuse. They should contribute to our knowledge of the agents involved in drug use disorder, including their molecular biology, chemistry, pharmacological action, biological disposition, abuse potential, safety or clinical usefulness. Contributions concerning research on neurobiology, epidemiology, prevention, public health aspects, or management and treatment of drug dependence are also encouraged.

An oral communication is a 15-minute talk in a topical session that is curated by the Program Committee. When submitting your abstract, you will be asked to indicate your willingness (yes or no) to have your accepted abstract be converted from a poster presentation to an oral communication. Selecting “yes” to this option does not guarantee your abstract will be selected for an oral communication, though selecting “no” will ensure that an accepted abstract will only be scheduled as a poster. The Program Committee asks that submitters select “yes” whenever possible to provide them with maximum flexibility in the diversity of topics that can be curated for the annual meeting.
