2. Novel immunological assays for diagnostic purposes
3. Case studies on immunologic diseases or disorders
4. Diagnostic impact on clinical immunology testing
5. Quality or process improvements in the immunology laboratory
6. Method comparisons – classic and novel immunologic assays

Guidelines for submission:

1. Abstract text is limited to 300 words or less.
2. Please submit in the following format: Objective, Methods, Results, Conclusions
3. Submit the abstract by creating a free account in the abstract portal 
4. Accept/Reject notices will be sent to the individual listed as the presenter. It is the responsibility of the presenter to ensure that all authors are notified of the abstract status.
5. If you apply for the Future Leaders in Medical Laboratory Immunology Award, please upload your brief statement of interest, CV, and letter of support as one file.
6. Participants whose abstracts are accepted will be invited to present their work in the scheduled Poster Sessions. Poster positions are not assigned … position is on a first come first served basis. The Poster Boards are approximately 8 feet wide by 4 feet high.

There are three categories of awards for your abstract submission. The winner of each category will receive a check for $500

• The Young Investigator Award. Applicants must be 35 years old or younger.
• Peter Maxim Memorial Clinical Laboratory Scientist Award. Applicants are to be a Clinical Laboratory Scientist. The abstract must be submitted with the Scientist as the first author and the recipient must attend the meeting and the poster session.
• Doctorate Award. Applicants must hold a doctorate (Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree)

Travel Allowance Scholarship:

The AMLI will award a limited number of travel allowance scholarships for graduate students, post-doctoral level laboratorians, and med techs who submit an abstract accepted for presentation at the Annual Meeting. The scholarship recipient must present the poster. Only one scholarship will be provided per accepted abstract, and individual regardless of the number of abstracts accepted. AMLI will reimburse travel expenses up to $1000/recipient and waive the registration fee for the Meeting only. If more applicants submit accepted abstracts than the number of travel allowance scholarships available, scholarships will be awarded based on abstract receipt dates. Scholarship recipients will be notified upon abstract acceptance. No one shall receive a travel scholarship more than twice in five years.

Future Leaders in Medical Laboratory Immunology Award. The winners of this award will receive 2 years of complimentary AMLI membership.

The award is intended to identify rising stars in the field of clinical and diagnostic immunology through their work and facilitate opportunities for these emerging medical laboratory immunologists to network with AMLI leaders and members. Participants whose abstract demonstrates novelty and significance will be invited to present their work in an 8-minute oral presentation at the AMLI Annual Meeting.

Applicants should ideally be enrolled in a graduate (master’s degree in medical laboratory science or equivalent) or post-graduate training program at the time of application. Post-graduate training must be related to the practice of medical laboratory immunology (ex. fellowships in clinical immunology, histocompatibility, immunogenetics, clinical chemistry, or clinical microbiology or residency in pathology, allergy, and immunology or other medical specialties). Graduates or post-graduate fellows within two years of completing their training are also eligible to apply.

***Note: The maximum number of awards and/or travel scholarships that an applicant can apply for is 2. Applicants can either apply for the Doctorate Award or the Future Leaders Award.***
