DELIVERING FOR NUTRITION IN SOUTH ASIA: EQUITY AND INCLUSION – CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

This page provides abstract submission guidance for this year’s conference and a link to ANH Academy’s free online abstract-writing workshop to help you prepare an effective abstract. Good luck!

NOTICE: We have extended the abstract submission deadline to Tuesday, September 5, 2023 (23:59 Greenwich Mean Time).

KEY AREAS FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

We have described equity and inclusion in the concept note. Please review the concept note to ensure this is covered in your abstract. We invite abstract submissions under the following categories:

• Research studies: Focused on the generation of new knowledge using rigorous study designs and applying quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods

• Implementation experiences: Focused on the implementation of interventions or programs 

Equity and inclusion cut across multiple topical areas related to nutrition; thus, we are inviting abstracts across five topical areas for this year’s conference. Submissions must focus on at least one of the following five topics:

1. Agriculture
2. Food environments
3. Health systems
4. Diets
5. Social protection

We have provided broad definitions and select examples for each topical area below. Abstracts that do not include equity or inclusion as a central theme will not be considered, even if they do fall under one of these topical areas.

To preview the abstract forms, click ‘View’ in the right-hand sidebar under ‘Abstract Forms.’

Select the relevant abstract form:

• • Research study
  • Implementation experience

Complete all required questions and submit your response once you reach the end of the form. 

NOTE: Multiple abstract submissions are allowed. Each abstract submission requires completing a separate form. 

Abstract submission deadline (EXTENSION): We have extended the abstract submission deadline to Tuesday, September 5, 2023 at Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) 23:59. 

ABSTRACT REVIEW PROCESS

Abstracts will be assessed based on:

• Relevance to the overall event theme and/or any of its related key area(s)
• Practical application and potential policy implications, and 
• Clarity and completeness of abstract  

The review committee expects to provide abstract decisions via e-mail in late September 2023, allowing sufficient time for individuals interested in attending the conference in person to make necessary arrangements.

Please contact IFPRI-D4N-CONF@cgiar.org if you have any questions.
