Submission Guide

The Group on Research, Education, and Training (GREAT) Program Committee invites proposals for concurrent sessions, poster presentations, and 5-minute talks at the 2025 AAMC Biomedical Research Training Conference Hosted by GREAT, in Arlington, Virginia, September 10-12.

Build your professional network and learn, reflect, and engage with colleagues, by presenting at this unique joint meeting among faculty and administrative leaders of biomedical PhD, MD-PhD, and postdoctoral programs. Your input will ensure the Planning Committee considers a broad and rich spectrum of topics and speakers that are relevant to either one or all three communities. Submit a proposal to share your strategies and solutions.

Submissions can either be designed to address issues and/or topics important to one or more of the three communities: Graduate Training, MD-PhD Training, and Postdoctoral Training Sections.

Important Information

• Submitters are strongly encouraged to read the Submission Guide before logging in to submit a proposal.
• Please remember that the submission does not need to be finalized in one session. You can access your proposal at any time prior to the submission deadline: February 19, 2025. This replaces the previous deadline of February 11.
• Only completed submissions will be reviewed (i.e., all fields in the online form must be completed).
• Include as much detail as you are able so the Program Committee can accurately assess the proposal.
• Your acceptance of an invitation to present an approved session proposal requires a commitment to attend the meeting and to help organize and/or present at the session. Note that session proposal submitters/speakers are responsible for their own costs associated with meeting registration and travel.
• The Program Committee encourages all speakers and panelists to include examples, case studies, and potential solutions throughout your proposal (e.g., detailed description, learning objectives).
• The Program Committee reserves the right to consolidate submissions and/or recommend any additional speakers or content related changes that will enhance the presentation’s relevance to the audience.

Submission decisions will be sent to the primary submitter in April 2025.
