 The purpose of late breaking abstracts is to accommodate abstracts with results not available before the regular submission deadline. Abstracts that are submitted without results as late breaking abstracts will not be accepted. A $50 fee will be charged for each late breaking abstract submission. All abstracts will be blinded and peer reviewed according to specific criteria. Authors will receive feedback based on a standardized evaluation form, if their submission is rejected. All accepted abstracts will be published in a supplemental issue of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior for the Annual Conference.
