Eligibility and Attendance
All NIDDK Fellows are eligible to participate.
Online Registration is now CLOSED
To attend the NIDDK Fellows Retreat, you must submit a Research Abstract. New Fellows, six months or less are encouraged but not required to submit an abstract. The rationale for this requirement is clear and simple: the whole point is to let other Fellows know the nature of your research, to share information and technical expertise, and to stimulate collaborations. What better way to do this than through a Book of Abstracts that will be made available in hardcopy? This handy reference will also be provided to all new, incoming Fellows in PDF format.
Revised: The deadline for registration will be Wednesday, February 20, 2013.

As part of the Registration for the Retreat, you will be asked whether you prefer to give an Oral or a Poster Presentation.
Each presentation will be 20 minutes in length (15 minutes for the talk and 5 minutes for discussion).
PowerPoint presentations are strongly encouraged over 35 mm slides.
All PowerPoint presentations will be loaded onto a single Laptop Computer and tested thoroughly beforehand so as to avoid incompatibilities and technical problems.

Five Travel Awards of $1,000 each will be given to Fellows for the Best Oral and Poster Presentations.
