Session Proposal for Online Symposium

NAVBO Regular Members are invited to submit a proposal for consideration as an Online Symposium. Our goals in this regard are two-fold: to bring additional, timely and member-initiated topics to the vascular biology community and to promote diversity, equity and inclusion.

Criterion: Must be a Regular Member of NAVBO in good standing

The Online Program Committee is currently developing symposia based on presentations from the IVBM so that those that were not able to attend the meeting or those that missed certain presentations will have the opportunity to see these presentations.

Therefore, proposals from members will be considered for presentation from December 2023 on.

*You cannot save this form and return to it at a later time, so be ready to complete it.

Fields marked with an * are required.

Please verify that you have checked the “I'm not a robot” checkbox.

Funding/Support
Seeking funding for our online offerings is extremely important to the health of the society. If your session focuses on a specific disease, is there a pharmaceutical or biotech company that has a vested interest in that disease? Consider the equipment, software and consumables that you use in your lab - perhaps the manufacturer of your imaging device would be a sponsor. Also, consider publishers of your recent papers.

Please list any potential sources of funding (biotech companies, foundations, pharmaceutical companies, etc.) that could be approached to ask for support of this session. If you have a contact name, please provide it here.  A NAVBO staff person will reach out to them and work with you to obtain sponsorship.
