Annual Research Meeting Interest Group Call for Abstracts »

AcademyHealth’s Interest Groups are accepting submissions for their individual Call for Abstracts for the upcoming 2025 Annual Research Meeting.

AcademyHealth Interest Groups (IG) facilitate interaction around specific topic areas relating to health services research and health policy. During the 2025 ARM, many IGs will host meetings and feature leading research. The below Interest Groups are accepting proposals via a Call for Abstracts. Interest Group’s Call for Abstracts are managed separately from the Annual Research Meeting Call for Abstracts.

AcademyHealth believes the audience for work submitted to an IG is different from the audience at the main meeting, therefore we welcome you to submit your abstract to both calls. More information about the general Call for Abstracts for the 2025 ARM can be found here.
