Acceptable abbreviations may be used without definition. Some standard abbreviations may be unfamiliar to large numbers of readers; at the author’s discretion, these may also be defined. Abbreviations not listed in the cited references above must be defined by placing them in parentheses after the full word the first time they appear. Excessive use of other than standard abbreviations may jeopardize evaluation of the abstract for scientific merit. Use numerals to indicate numerals except when they begin sentences. Nonproprietary (generic) names not capitalized are required the first time a drug is mentioned. Proprietary names are always capitalized, e.g., acetazolamide (Diamox).

Graphics and Tables

You may upload one image as an attachment to your abstract Attachments are accepted in .jpg, .gif or .png formats.
Please remove extraneous white space surrounding the graphic by cropping it prior to submitting your abstract.
The recommended graphic size to optimize resolution is 3.5 inches wide by 3 inches tall and an absolute minimum of 600 DPI. Remember: When the abstract is reduced to fit in a column in the Abstracts book, the image must be legible. If you are not sure whether your image is the appropriate size, please contact abstracts@asbmr.org for assistance.
Images will be placed at the end of the abstract. Please be sure to label your image as you would want it to appear in the Abstracts book.

Step 4: Authors

Note: The Search for Author/Sponsor step may not load results immediately. Please give the database a moment to return results. If you do not receive the information you need, please contact abstracts@asbmr.org for assistance.

You must identify at least one author as the presenter for your abstract and one author as the Principal Investigator. To begin, click the “Add Author” link. Enter information for each author in all open fields. PLEASE NOTE: The order of authors can be changed by clicking on the  MOVE button to the right of the author name.
Presenting Authors must be fluent in English and able to answer questions. If none of the authors are fluent in English, you must check the “Poster Only” option within the “Additional Information” section of the abstract submission system.
The presenting author will be the main contact for this abstract. Please be sure that all contact information is up to date. If the Presenting/Contact Author’s email address or other contact information changes between abstract submission and the time of the meeting, it is that author’s responsibility to update the contact information within the online submission program or email abstracts@asbmr.org.
It is expected that the individual identified as the Presenting Author at the time of submission will present the abstract at the meeting. Presenting Author changes can be made only due to special circumstances or unavoidable schedule conflicts that arise after the submission deadline that will preclude the participation of the individual initially identified for this role.

Disputes

ASBMR will not adjudicate a dispute between abstract presenters.

Expectations of Authors and Presenters

Through ASBMR meetings, the Society promotes excellence in the bone, mineral and musculoskeletal field. To that end, ASBMR expects that all authors and presenters affiliated with the ASBMR 2025 Annual Meeting will provide informative and fully accurate content that reflects the highest level of scientific rigor and integrity.

The ASBMR depends upon the honesty of the authors and presenters and relies on their assertions that they have had sufficient full access to the data and are convinced of its reliability.

Attendees to the ASBMR Annual Meeting include basic scientists and clinicians from over 65 countries. To improve comprehension of your research by a diverse audience, we ask that the language you use in your presentation be clear and concise. Please attempt to avoid jargon and unnecessarily complicated language. Clearly define all terms, experimental techniques, abbreviations and acronyms that are not typically known outside your area of expertise. Where appropriate, please provide control reference ranges and baselines. Consider the use of a statement of relevance such as ‘These clinical findings are consistent/inconsistent with current thinking on the mechanisms of action...’ or ‘These basic findings could suggest a possible therapeutic target...’

Further, the ASBMR expects that:

All authors and presenters (invited and abstracts-based oral and poster presenters) will disclose any conflicts of interest, real or perceived.
Authors of an abstract describing a study funded by an organization with a proprietary or financial interest must affirm that they had full access to all the data in the By so doing, they accept complete responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analysis.
The content of abstracts, presentations, slides and reference materials must remain the ultimate responsibility of the author(s) or faculty.
The planning, content and execution of abstracts, speaker presentations, slides, abstracts and reference materials should be free from corporate influence, bias, or control.
All authors and presenters (invited and abstracts-based oral and poster presenters) should give a balanced view of therapeutic options by providing several treatment options, whenever possible, and by always citing the best available evidence.

In addition, ASBMR meeting evaluations will seek feedback regarding commercial bias.

Step 5: Sponsor

Only applied to MID-SENIOR CAREER ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS

New for 2025! Early Stage Investigator career level abstract submissions DO NOT require a sponsor. However, Mid-career and Senior career level abstracts must be sponsored by a current member of the ASBMR. A member may sponsor only ONE abstract; however, you may co-author any number of abstracts. Current members in the following categories may sponsor their own abstracts: In-Training, APDEM, Full, and Discounted.

For questions, please contact ASBMR staff at abstracts@asbmr.org or (202) 367 - 1161.

Step 6: Disclosures

Disclosure/Conflict of Interest

The ASBMR is committed to ensuring the balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor of all its individually sponsored or industry-supported educational activities. Accordingly, the ASBMR adheres to the requirement set by ACCME that audiences at jointly-sponsored educational programs be informed of a presenter's (speaker, faculty, author, or planner) academic and professional affiliations, and the disclosure of the existence of any significant financial interest or other relationship a presenter or their spouse has with any proprietary entity over the past 12 months producing, marketing, re-selling or distributing health care goods or services, consumed by or used on patients, with the exemption of non-profit or government organizations and non-health care related companies. When an unlabeled use of a commercial product, or an investigational use not yet approved for any purpose, is discussed during the presentation, it is required that presenters disclose that the product is not labeled for the use under discussion or that the product is still investigational. This policy allows the listener/attendee to be fully knowledgeable in evaluating the information being presented. The On-Site Program book will note those speakers who have disclosed affiliations, including the nature of the affiliation and the associated commercial entity.

Disclosure should include any affiliation that may bias one’s presentation or which, if known, could give the perception of bias. This includes relevant financial affiliations of a spouse or partner. If an affiliation exists that could represent or be perceived to represent a conflict of interest, this must be reported in the abstract submission program by listing the name of the commercial entity and selecting the potential conflict(s) by clicking in the box next to the affiliation type. Disclosures will be printed in the program materials. These situations may include, but are not limited to:

Grant/Research Support
Consultant
Speakers' Bureau
Major Stock Shareholder
Other Financial or Material Support

Step 7: Scheduling Conflicts

Please use the “Schedule Conflicts” section to indicate any schedule conflicts of which you are already aware that would preclude your presenting your abstract on a certain day(s) or at a specific time of the meeting (September 5 - September 8, 2025). Leave this section blank if you have no schedule conflicts. Please be aware that the ASBMR will NOT make any scheduling changes once the abstracts have been assigned to the program.

Step 8: Additional Information

Prior Publication and presentation Policy

Abstracts submitted to the ASBMR 2025 Annual Meeting represent recent advances bone, mineral and musculoskeletal, and those abstracts highlighted at the oral program present the most cutting-edge research in the bone, mineral and musculoskeletal field. Authors should carefully review our prior publication policy, below, to determine if their abstracts are eligible for consideration for the oral program or for poster presentation only.

At the time of abstract submission, the manuscript should not have been previously published verbatim as a scientific article or meeting abstract. Note that interim research products, including manuscripts deposited to a preprint server, are eligible for abstract submission.

If a manuscript associated with an abstract has or will appear in print or online on or before Thursday, May 1, 2025 (excluding a preprint server), the abstract is not eligible for oral presentation at the ASBMR 2025 Annual Meeting and should be submitted for Poster Presentation Only. It is the submitting author’s responsibility to select “Poster Only” from the drop-down menu in the Additional Information section.

Prior Presentation

Wide dissemination of previously presented abstracts excludes oral presentation at the ASBMR 2025 Annual Meeting. The following guidelines apply to previously presented abstracts:

Abstracts presented orally or as a poster at a prior ASBMR Annual Meeting may not be submitted for either poster or oral presentation.
Abstracts that have received wide exposure may not be submitted for an oral presentation at the ASBMR 2025 Annual Meeting and should be marked “Poster Only” under the Preferences section on the Submission Site.

Examples of wide exposure include presentation (poster or oral) at major U.S. and other national and international meetings.

Examples of meetings at which abstracts have been presented that would not exclude oral presentation at the ASBMR 2025 Annual Meeting include focused workshops and symposia such as: Gordon Conferences, Advances in Mineral Metabolism, ASBMR Topical Meeting and Keystone Symposia.

If you have previously presented the material in your abstract at another meeting and are not sure about its eligibility for oral presentation at the ASBMR 2025 Annual Meeting, please mark “Poster Only” or contact ASBMR (abstracts@asbmr.org) for advice before submitting the abstract.

Funding Information

Authors of an abstract describing a study funded by an organization with a proprietary or financial interest must identify the organization and affirm that they had full access to all the data in the study. By doing so, they accept complete responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analysis.

IRB Disclosures

It is the author’s responsibility to assure that all clinical investigations detailed in abstracts are conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Authors must also document that these studies have been approved by the appropriate institutional human research committee. Identifying information for study participants should not be published within written descriptions, photographs or pedigrees or test results. If such information is included as essential scientific information, the authors must submit written consent of patient of guardian to publish such information in the proceedings of this meeting.

Animal Care and Use Disclosure

It is the author’s responsibility to assure that all experimental procedures are in compliance with the guiding principles in the “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals” available online at: http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=5140

Authors must document that their studies were approved by the appropriate institutional animal care and oversight committee and have available documentation that these studies were approved.

Photography by the Media and/or Medical Journalists

While general attendees are not allowed to take photos during scientific sessions, the ASBMR does allow media and medical journalists to take photos of select presentations to assist in their coverage of the research being presented at the ASBMR Annual Meeting. By indicating your approval during the abstract submission process, this saves you the time and interruption prior to your presentation at the Annual Meeting with the media approaching you for signed approval.

NOTE: The media are not allowed to directly reproduce/report data or use photos of presentation slides. The photography will only be used for the purposes of reporting on your presentation and will provide your research and your additional exposure in the field.

Artificial Intelligence

The ASBMR will allow the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) tools, including large-scale language modeling (LLM) tools, with proper documentation (name, vendor, version, date used, how it was used) in abstracts that are submitted for consideration in the ASBMR 2025 Annual Meeting scientific program. Abstract authors are responsible for the accuracy and integrity of the content produced and generated by Gen AI, along with acquiring the appropriate rights and permissions. Gen AI (including LLM) tools do not meet author or co-author requirements and therefore cannot be listed as authors or co-authors in abstract submission.

Step 9: Submittal and Payment

Abstract Submission Fees

The abstract submission fee is $75 USD

Payment must accompany each abstract submission. VISA, MASTERCARD, and AMERICAN EXPRESS are accepted for payment of abstract submission fees. The abstract submission fee is non-refundable. Please take care to provide complete and accurate information. If you need to pay using a different mechanism, please contact the ASBMR Business Office at +1 (202) 367-1161.

Abstract Receipt Confirmation

The final step in the online submission process generates a confirmation receipt of the submission. Please print this page for your records. An email record of the transaction will be sent to you and the author marked as the principal investigator. You can review the confirmation page at any time by viewing the Submittal and Payment section of your abstract.

Additional Abstract Information

Review Process

The ASBMR is sensitive to issues of commercial confidentiality and relevant aspects of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. Therefore, all ASBMR reviewers are required to adhere to the SEC regulations and treat all information as confidential. ASBMR abstract reviewers are instructed that they may be viewed as an “insider” by the SEC due to their knowledge of information included in abstracts, particularly clinical trial abstracts. All ASBMR abstract reviewers are required to adhere to confidentiality agreements prior to receiving abstracts.

In addition to protecting the confidentiality of any material received, reviewers must record their conflict(s), if any, and abstain from scoring the abstract(s) if any conflict of interest arises.

Abstracts will be peer-reviewed, according to category. All abstracts are entered into the ASBMR Abstracts Database. The information from each abstract is captured within different fields in the Database. To ensure absolute impartiality in the reviewing process, a “blinded” copy of each abstract will be generated for the review process. “Blinded” copies will not include author or institutional field information, but rather the title and body of your abstract only. The abstract reviewers will score abstracts based on the merit of the submission only.

Program Assignment Notification

By the end of June 2025, you will receive an e-mail notifying you of your program assignment. It is the responsibility of the presenting author/submitter to notify the other authors of the program assignment. Please note: Program Assignment Letters are e-mailed to the presenting author and the email address used during submission. Please ensure the presenting author will have access to the email address used in the submission when notifications are sent by ASBMR staff.

No responsibility is assumed, and responsibility is hereby disclaimed, by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research for any injury and/or damage to persons or property as a matter of products’ liability, negligence or otherwise, or from any use or operation of methods, products, instructions or ideas presented in the abstracts or at the ASBMR 2025 Annual Meeting.

Embargo

The ASBMR is sensitive to issues of commercial confidentiality and relevant aspects of the U.S. Securities and Exchange (SEC) regulations. Therefore, the ASBMR reminds all readers that everyone must adhere to the SEC regulations and treat all scientific information as confidential until the embargo has been lifted. The embargo lifts at the start time of the session in which the presentation is being made. Any reader of, or listener to, ASBMR 2025 Annual Meeting content may be viewed as an “insider” by the SEC due to knowledge of information included in abstracts, particularly clinical trial abstracts. SEC regulations may call for criminal penalties for using such information.

Abstracts submitted to the ASBMR 2025 Annual Meeting are embargoed – that is, unavailable for public release in written, oral or electronic communications – until the start time of the presentation at the ASBMR Annual Meeting.  Public release includes presentation of data by the presenting author, colleagues, or others (1) in writing, on the internet or in other electronic formats, (2) orally in interviews or at other sessions/meetings that are not part of this official ASBMR program and/or take place before the embargo is lifted, (3) at the ASBMR 2025 Annual Meeting before the embargo is lifted and (4) in traditional text publications (e.g., journals, newspapers, newsletters) that will be published before the embargo is lifted. In addition, ASBMR reminds presenters and attendees that other organizations’ and entities’ embargoes should be honored. Any issues that arise in relation to this policy should be promptly reported to the ASBMR Executive Director in writing. This is a longstanding ASBMR policy that will be enforced.
