Call for proposals for CISTM in Lisbon, Portugal, 2005

Dear ISTM Member:

The submission period for ideas and proposals for CISTM9 has begun and will run through the end of March 2004. Only proposals entered onto the ISTM website during the solicitation period will be considered by the Program Committee.

Click on MEMBER SERVICES and Login according the instructions you received with your membership mailing in November (contact istm@istm.org for assistance).  This will allow easy collation and dissemination of suggestions to the entire Scientific Program Committee for scoring.

We realize that May 2005 is a long way off but for an international meeting such as this desirable speakers must be invited 1 year in advance. Suggestions should reflect the latest clinical science and should emphasize areas that have had significant developments since the New York meeting.

Please take a few minutes to help us plan CISTM9 in a way that best serves the interests and needs of our members.

David O. Freedman (USA), Chair
Hans D. Nothdurft (Germany), Co-Chair
