The 2008 International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR)

The 2008 International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) will be held in London, England, May 15-17, 2008.

Information regarding registration and applications for travel awards is also on the website at http://autism-insar.org

Information regarding accommodations will be posted on the website in the near future.

Relevant topics include but are not limited to: etiology, risk factors, epidemiology, neuroimaging, treatment, cognition, behavior, language, communication, movement disorders, diagnosis, phenotype, genetics, animal models, education, neurology, psychiatry, psychology, pathology, immunity, environment, medical conditions. IMFAR is a scientific meeting and only presentations based primarily on empirical data will be accepted.

The rapid growth of the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR) and the importance of IMFAR as the largest international congregation of autism investigators have lead to policies that ensure effective communication with the scientific and autism communities through the press and media organizations. Information submitted to IMFAR as an abstract for oral or poster presentation is embargoed until after the time of presentation. The program committee will select abstracts for inclusion in a press book and INSAR will make arrangements for information release and press conferences during the meeting.

INSAR requires authors to disclose their sources of contributed support (commercial, public, or private foundation grants, and off-label use of drugs, if any). INSAR also requires authors to signify whether there may be a real or perceived conflict of interest. Any potential for financial gain that may be derived from reported work may constitute a potential conflict of interest.
