How are abstracts placed in study sections?
All attempts are made to place each abstract in the first-choice study section; however, at times the number of abstracts submitted to a study section exceeds a reasonable number and abstracts must be moved to their second- or third-choice study section. In this situation, abstracts are placed in the first-choice study section in the order by which they are submitted. Therefore, the earlier you submit, the more likely your abstract will be placed in your first-choice study section.
