Submission Guide (PDF)

The 2027 AAMC Biomedical Research Conference brings together the leaders, administrators, faculty, and professionals who support and advance the research enterprise across academic health centers, research-intensive universities, medical schools, and affiliated institutions. The AAMC Biomedical Research Advancement, Training, and Oversight Group Program Committee invites proposals for:

• Concurrent sessions - Explore community-specific or cross-functional topics, challenges, innovations, and best practices through in-depth presentations and discussions.
• Rapid-fire talks - Share innovative practices, emerging ideas, pilot programs, research findings, and other timely topics in this fast-paced format.
• Introducing a new format! “What Would You Do?” (WWYD) Talks - Present a brief, case-based exploration of a real-world challenge, dilemma, or difficult decision.

Note: A separate Call for Poster submissions will be launched at a later date.

Submissions can either be designed to address issues and/or topics important to one or more of the communities of practice: COI and Research Compliance, Institutional Research Leaders, and Research Training and Education (Graduate, MD-PhD, and Postdoctoral).

Important Information

• Submitters are strongly encouraged to read the Submission Guide.
