ASA Scientific Papers:
Call for Abstracts |
The submission procedure for the 2002 ASA Annual Meeting scientific
papers will be very similar to that used in 2001. For 2002, ASA
has once again partnered with Marathon Multimedia, which specializes
in online paper submissions.
This year, the abstract submission program will be accessible
through ASA’s Web site <www.asahq.org/AnnMtg/>
and clicking on the “On-Line Abstract Submissions”
link. All accepted abstracts will be published in their entirety
in electronic format, and the summary of the abstract will be
published in the 2002 Annual Meeting program book. Submission
instructions are available on the ASA Web site and will not be
mailed to authors. It will not be necessary to request a packet
of abstract submission material.
The following outlines the 2002 Scientific Papers submission
process:
- The submission Web site will be available on January 7,
2002. The deadline for submitting all abstracts is Sunday,
April 1, 2002, at 11:59 p.m. Central Standard Time.
- Abstract submission will require a computer, an Internet connection
and a Web browser (version 4.0 or higher). If you do not have
access to these items, you may find out about alternate submission
methods from the ASA Executive Office.
- All submission instructions will be available on the ASA Web
site and accessible from any point during the submission process.
No separate submission packet will be mailed.
- Authors may input and revise submissions until deadline or
until the abstract is officially submitted by clicking the “Submit”
button. Entries will be checked automatically for completeness
once officially submitted. After the closing deadline, entries
that are not in compliance with all of the submission requirements
will be assumed to be in draft format and will not be considered
by the graders.
- A brief summary of the study must be included with the submission
and, for abstracts that are accepted, will be published in the
2002 Annual Meeting program book. The summary will not be considered
when the abstracts are graded. The September supplement to Anesthesiology
will consist of a CD-ROM containing the full text and graphics
of all accepted abstracts.
- The use of scientific characters and common style elements
such as bold, italic and underline will be permitted. Font specification,
with some limitations, will be available.
The ASA Web site will contain more complete information regarding
the process for submitting abstracts.

Nominations Sought for Award for Excellence in Research
The annual ASA Award for Excellence in Research recognizes
an individual for outstanding achievement in research
that has or is likely to have an important impact
on the practice of anesthesiology.
The individual’s work must represent a body
of original, mature and sustained contribution to
the advancement of the science of anesthesiology.
The nominee need not be a physician, an anesthesiologist
or a member of ASA but must be presently engaged in

In 2001, the award was presented to David C. Warltier,
M.D., Ph.D., at the ASA Annual Meeting in New Orleans,
Louisiana, on Monday, October 15, 2001, immediately
preceding the Emery A. Rovenstine Memorial Lecture.
Dr. Warltier is Professor in the Departments of Anesthesiology,
Medicine (Cardiovascular Division) and Pharmacology
& Toxicology; Vice-Chair for Research, Department
of Anesthesiology; and Director, Medical Scientist
Training Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin,
