We all feel the impact of COVID-19 as routines have been upended. No matter how you practice research and patient care, life is different. This pandemic has elevated the need for primary care research. Primary care has never been more relevant. In response to new demands on your schedules, we have extended the abstract deadline and opened a new category of COVID-19 research programming:
- Deadline Extended: We will continue to accept abstracts on all topics until May 30. After that, we will consider COVID-19 abstracts on a rolling basis until all COVID-19 reserved slots have been filled.
- Special Topics in COVID Research: We will make room for late breaking research on COVID-19 in all submission categories (posters, oral presentations, workshops, forums) for both “completed research” and “research in progress” categories. To ensure that we provide the content that attendees need and want, please know that we will be flexible in accepting proposals on a rolling basis.
We hope to see you in San Francisco on November 20, but we do not know whether travel and meeting restrictions will be lifted by then or whether you will have budgets to support professional development opportunities. Rest assured, we will provide for virtual connections if a face-to-face meeting is impossible. One way or the other, NAPCRG will remain your home for primary care research.
Thank you for your continued support!
Kind regards,
