As the world’s largest gathering of users and producers of health services research, the AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting (ARM) is the preeminent place to share important findings with experts from around the world who can move research into action.  

This year’s ARM is organized around 21 themes and five submission categories. All individual abstracts and research panel submissions undergo blind peer review. Policy Roundtables and Panels on Critical and Emerging Issues in Health Services Research (HSR) submissions are not blinded. Breakouts will be 75 minutes, and all submitters should be prepared to present in-person. While masks are optional, AcademyHealth expects all presenters and attendees to respect and support the masking decisions of others. 

The 2024 Call for Abstracts period is now closed.
