Abstracts will be accepted in the following categories:

Basic Research - To improve human health, scientific discoveries must be translated into practical applications. Such discoveries typically begin at the bench with basic research by which scientists study disease at a molecular or cellular level.
Clinical Research - Patient-oriented research. Research conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin such as tissues, specimens and cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator (or colleague) directly interacts with human subjects. This area of research includes mechanisms of human disease; therapeutic interventions; clinical trials; development of new technologies; analysis of existing datasets; epidemiologic and behavioral studies; outcomes research and health services research.
Quality Improvement-Patient Safety - Submissions can report on efforts to improve patient safety or outcomes measurement. Such efforts may be projects developed and initiated to promote patient safety and/or processes that have improved or created a safer environment for patients. Abstracts may also be submitted that relate to the use of outcome data, how to measure and convert data into information.
High-Value Cost-Conscious Care - Projects that focus on reducing waste in the system (e.g., unnecessary testing and treatment or inappropriate setting for care), minimizing harms (e.g., radiation exposure, medication side effects), or improving patient care through communication (e.g., incorporating patient values and concerns into care plans).
Clinical Vignette - A clinical vignette is a report of one or more cases that illustrates a new disease entity or a prominent or unusual clinical feature of an established disease. It may include a summary of pertinent patient history, physical findings, laboratory data, or management description.
Physician Wellness – Projects that explore initiatives, interventions, or analyses aimed at promoting the well-being of physicians and physicians-in-training. Projects may focus on individual, organizational, or systemic approaches to improve physical, emotional, psychological, or professional health.

Please note: This competition is open to ACP Kansas Residents,
Fellows, Medical Students & Early Career Physicians. Authors must be ACP members prior to submitting an abstract

The submission deadline is Monday, August 3, 2026, at 5 pm (CST)
