11.  All of the abstract submissions will be selected for poster presentation. A limited number of abstracts will also be selected for oral presentation.

Oral presentations will be in PowerPoint format.

13.  Submission of an abstract to the 2011 International PRRS Symposium DOES NOT constitute abstract submission to CRWAD. The 2011 International PRRS Symposium is held in advance of CRWAD, but is a distinct, separate meeting. Therefore, you are encouraged to submit a separate abstract for presentation at CRWAD in order to promote the widest dissemination of your research findings. The CRWAD website can be found at http://www.cvmbs.colostate.edu/mip/crwad/.

14. Please do not use any special characters in the file name of the abstract you are uploading and keep the file name short so it will upload properly.
