Dear Colleague, The Gerontological Society of America is inviting current members to volunteer as abstract reviewers for the GSA 2021 Annual Scientific Meeting. Abstract reviewers are vital to the integrity of the program and play a crucial role in the success of the meeting. We hope that you will give a bit of your time and share your expertise to help us build a strong program. As an abstract reviewer, you are contributing to the quality of the research presentations and the field of gerontology. Furthermore, your participation is an excellent way to show your support for GSA. With this small-time commitment, you will have a large effect on the GSA 2021 Annual Scientific Meeting. How to Apply: You must sign up by February 25, 2021, to participate. Simply log in to www.geron.org with your GSA user name and password. Once logged in, click the white “My Account� button on the top right corner of the home page and select Call for Reviewers. When completing the online volunteer form, you’ll be asked to provide your contact information and select “Session Topics�—these are the areas of expertise in which you are volunteering to review abstracts. Some things to consider before signing up: - The abstract review period is March 22 through April 5, 2021. You must be available to complete your reviews during this two-week time frame.
- You may receive up to 20 abstracts to review.
- Depending on the number of abstracts assigned, plan to spend 2 to 3 hours completing your reviews via the online abstract evaluation system.
- Abstract reviewers will receive an email in late March with detailed instructions for reviewing their assigned abstracts.
If you have any questions about either signing up or the review process, contact the GSA 2021 Abstracts Manager at [log in to unmask]" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); text-decoration: underline;" class="">[log in to unmask].
