Late Breaking/Rapid Science Submission

This year, the American Society for Nutrition accepted Late Breaking/Rapid Science submissions for NUTRITION 2023. This category of submissions is for high-impact scientific research for which results were not available by the March 1, 2023 general abstract submission deadline. 

These submissions should present data that are high impact, groundbreaking, innovative and newsworthy. This category is not a mechanism to update data submitted during the general abstract submission period. 

The submission period for Late-Breaking/Rapid Science closed April 17, 2023.

Key Dates

Late Breaking/Rapid Science submission opens: March 20, 2023 
Submission deadline: April 17, 2023, 11:59 PM ET 
Notifications sent: May 1, 2023 

Eligibility and Details

1. Submissions must not have been presented, accepted for presentation or published at any other scientific meeting or journal at the time of submission.

2. A submission is ineligible for consideration if preliminary data were available at the time of the March 1 general abstract submission deadline.

3. Do not resubmit work already submitted during the general abstract submission period.

4. If another abstract based on the late breaking trial/study discussed in the Late Breaking/Rapid Science submission was submitted during the general NUTRITION 2023 abstract submission process, please contact education@nutrition.org.

5. Submissions will be evaluated on impact of research, novelty, rigor of design and innovation.

6. Late Breaking/Rapid Science submissions will not be published along with NUTRITION 2023  abstracts in Current Developments in Nutrition.

7. Embargo Policy: All authors must read and comply with the NUTRITION 2023 embargo policy. Selected submissions are embargoed until the beginning of the first session in which they are presented, whichever happens first. An embargo means that information and data pertaining to the submission may not be announced, publicized or distributed before the embargo date and time. Promotion of general topics, speakers or presentation times is allowed and encouraged as long as specific findings are not included in the announcement.

8. Simultaneous Journal Publication: Simultaneous publication of trials is acceptable and encouraged as long as the embargo policies of NUTRITION 2023 and the involved journals are coordinated. If a trial/study has been submitted to and accepted for publication, the presenter is responsible for ensuring that the journal editor respects ASN’s embargo policy. Publication of a trial/study in print or on a journal web site prior to presentation at NUTRITION 2023 will necessitate withdrawal of the trial/study from the program.
