The D. Collen Young Investigator Awards
To honor the contributions of Désiré Collen to research on Fibrinolysis, Proteolysis and Thrombolysis, the ISFP has created the D. Collen Young Investigator Awards that will be awarded at the occasion of the Congress.

The following is the criteria for the awards:

1. Restricted to PhD/young post-doc level (under 40 years).
2. Five (5) abstracts submitted to the Congress are selected by the scientific program committee (on the basis of grading and contents). The first authors of submitted abstracts will have the option to indicate whether they wish to compete for one of these awards.
3. The selected abstracts will be presented in a special oral communications session.
4. After this session, the scientific program committee will select one (1) abstract as winner, receiving CND3,500, whereas the four (4) others will each receive CND1,500.

How to Submit an Abstract

Delegates, who would like to present their work at the congress, are invited to submit an abstract for consideration by the Scientific Committee for presentation as oral communications or posters.

ISFP and HSTH Members and Non-Members are invited to submit abstracts.

There are no fees to submit an abstract.

Abstracts can only be submitted as MS WORD files online via the abstract submission website that can be found on the official ISFP/HSTH Congress website. Abstracts sent by post or email will not be accepted. No exceptions will be made.

The submitter will be required to login with a user account in order to submit an abstract. Once logged in you will be able to submit your abstract.

Submission deadline (June 15, 2023, 17:00 Eastern Standard Time (U.S.)).

The submitted abstracts cannot be edited after the submission.

Only abstracts that have been submitted properly will be considered for the congress.

Submitters should select the preferred form of presentation: oral communication or poster, the scientific category and their eligibility for the D. Collen Young Investigator Awards.

General Guidelines
The abstract must address scientific questions, detail clinical observations, or contain primary scientific data.

Abstracts should be submitted in clear English to allow the reviewers to focus on the scientific content of the abstract. Non-English-speaking authors are encouraged to have their abstract checked for grammar and spelling.

Please ensure your abstract does not contain spelling, grammar, or scientific mistakes, as it will be reproduced exactly as submitted. Linguistic accuracy is your responsibility. No proof reading will be done.

Do not slice results from the same study into multiple abstracts. The Scientific Committee reserves the right to reject abstracts when inappropriate slicing of data is suspected. Similarly, do not submit a copy or close copy of an abstract under more than one topic. Abstracts that appear to be submitted multiple times under different topics will be rejected.

All research and studies in submitted abstracts that involve human subjects or experimental animals must comply with the Declaration of Helsinki.

No revisions can be made after the abstract deadline. To ensure the integrity of the review process, revisions to abstracts will not be accepted after the abstract submission deadline.
