You will notice a few changes in this year's Call for Submission and the online submission form. In response to feedback and thanks to the hard work of the Program Committee, we have added questions pertaining to study eligibility criteria (inclusion and exclusion criteria rationale) as well as sex and gender considerations (for definitions, more background, and resources see: http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/50833.html). Although the official language of the conference remains as English, in our efforts to improve bilingualism we have translated and provided the Call for Submissions and online form in French.
