2022 RUCARES Annual Autism Conference — Call for Submissions

RUCARES Annual Symposium 2022

Call for Oral and Poster Abstract Submissions

Attention, autism researchers: you are invited to submit abstracts for the second annual symposium of the Rutgers University Center for Autism Research, Education, and Services (RUCARES). Please submit your research or clinical innovations for consideration as oral or poster presentations. The symposium will be held at the Busch Student Center (604 Bartholomew Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854) on Wednesday, October 26, 2022. Please mark this date on your calendar. Registration for the conference will be free this year.

Currently, we anticipate a fully in-person conference, subject to university guidelines. However, we will switch to a virtual meeting if conditions and guidelines require such a change.

The event will feature selected oral presentations, poster sessions, and a plenary presentation by a nationally recognized autism investigator. There will also be opportunities for engagement and networking among the Rutgers autism research community. As such, we encourage you and your students to submit abstracts that provide an overview or representative sample of your work.

Submissions should include the following:
