General Information

The 10th National Conference on Cancer Nursing Research provides a forum to disseminate research findings and stimulate translation to practice. Conference objectives include:

• To discuss current and emerging cancer nursing research issues, methods, and findings.
• To apply research findings to cancer practice, education, research, and policy.
• To provide opportunities for networking and mentoring in research.
• To foster research partnerships and teams.

The conference planning team invites researchers, doctoral students, clinical trials nurses, advanced practice nurses, and others with an interest in research relevant to cancer care to participate in the upcoming conference by submitting an abstract.

Late breaking research abstracts are being accepted until December 2, 2008 at 5 pm Eastern Time.

Each abstract is reviewed by a group of Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) doctorally prepared volunteers with expertise in research, clinical trials, and translation of research into practice. Selection will be based solely on blind review.

The top four scored late breaking research abstracts will be selected for presentation during a 90 minute podium session. This session provides a valuable opportunity to present late-breaking research findings. Abstracts may be submitted for completed research only. Abstracts should report research findings not available at the time of the 10th National Conference on Cancer Nursing Research general abstract deadline and not published or previously presented nationally or internationally to a nursing audience. Research must be completed at time of submission and findings reported in the abstract.

Only one author (usually the first author) may present the podium presentation. The primary author of the abstract must obtain consent from all authors and appropriate institutional clearances prior to abstract submission.
