The poster submission deadline has been extended by ten days! All poster submissions should be sent to: MCBK-info@umich.edu by the deadline, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 2021 @ 5:00 p.m. ET.

Poster submissions will be accepted on a rolling admission timeline, and authors will be notified via email as to whether their poster will be included in the session. At least one poster author must register to attend the MCBK meeting as a presenter on July 20, 2021.

The MCBK 2021 project poster presentations will be done via a virtual format. A decision on project posters will be sent via e-mail to the submitting author. At least one presenter must register to attend and be available to present virtually on July 20.

I. Overview of MCBK Meeting Poster Session

The poster session will feature two parts:

1. One registered presenter will participate in a pre-recorded 1-minute “lightning session”, on July 20, 2021. The poster should be represented in a google slide format that shares the poster content in an easily readable way. An email address for the presenter(s) and a hyperlink to a pdf version of the poster should be included on the lightning slide.

2. Poster presenters will also participate in an extended virtual project poster session on July 20, 2021. The presenter will further showcase their project poster, answer questions and discuss the work with interested meeting attendees in a virtual expo booth. Each presentation in the breakout session will last for approximately 20 minutes.

3. The project poster presenter does not have to be the first author but must be familiar enough with the work to have an informal conversation and answer questions from attendees during the extended expo booth session. This is an opportunity to have stimulating conversations about your work with a variety of stakeholders who are interested in MCBK. In advance of the meeting, all accepted project poster presenters will receive clear instructions regarding the logistics for the lightning round and the extended presentation session.

II. Required Poster Proposal Information

The following general information about the project poster must be included with your poster proposal submission. All poster submissions should be sent to: MCBK-info@umich.edu by the deadline, FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 2021 @ 5:00 p.m. ET.

a) Title of Poster

b) Classification - All persons who are submitting project poster proposal(s) should indicate from among several possible classifications, the one that most accurately characterizes the predominant thrust of the project poster content. These categories will be used to assist conference planners in grouping related posters, and, in assisting attendees with their selection of posters they want to be sure to see. The definitions of each category are provided in consecutive order below:

• Credentialing, authorship, curation and publishing: Content that focuses on the knowledge management aspects of CBK. Examples might include roles and responsibilities related to curation and publishing of CBK artifacts.

• Curricular/Pedagogical/Training: Content that focuses on the development and substance of specific course content in either required or optional courses, as well as in both credit and non-credit formats that focus on MCBK issues. Examples might include curriculum that is specific to the implications and importance of making Biomedical Knowledge, computable.

• Equity and Inclusion aspects of CBK: Content that focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion aspects of CBK. Examples might include research, projects, or other initiatives that explore approaches to ensure diverse populations are included in the development, implementation, and evaluation of CBK, or specific approaches to detect and mitigate bias or to measure safety of CBK, or determine the fairness of CBK.

• Infrastructure: Content that focuses on those things that are necessary to move CBK from generation into practice. Examples might include ways of facilitating the testing, versioning, use, evaluation, scalability, interoperability, and dissemination of CBK.

• Policy, Trust and Privacy: Content that focuses on policy, trust, privacy and security aspects of CBK. Examples might include research, projects, or other initiatives related to transparency, reliability, reproducibility and consistency of CBK.

• Scenarios and Use Cases: Content that focuses on describing and analyzing the development, substance, and/or response to specific situations and programs. Examples might include illustrations of real-life CBK scenarios within various domains including Education, Research, Clinical Care, Public Health, etc.

• Standards and Metadata: Content that focuses on existing standards that could be applied to CBK or, identifying metadata for purposes of annotating CBK. Examples might include metadata that makes CBK more findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.

• Systems, Platforms, Tools and Services: Content that focuses on one or more aspects of a CBK system, or platform, that is in use, under development, or at a testing or prototype stage. Examples might include platforms that solve a particular health problem, or, one that is important to a particular domain, stakeholder group, etc.
