The FONE Research Committee sponsors a mentorship program for members who are interested in submitting a poster abstract for the annual Spring and Fall Conferences. The purpose of the mentorship program is to provide support to members who may need assistance in developing an abstract, or need guidance from an experienced individual who has successfully presented at our Conferences. Mentors are volunteer FONE members whose abstracts were accepted for presentation in the previous year. Mentors are there to assist you, and to help you to follow the poster abstract submission guidelines.
If you are thinking of submitting an abstract and feel you need support from an FONE colleague, please contact Yvonne Doval at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Note that members of the Research Committee cannot serve as a mentor, as many participate in the poster review and acceptance subcommittee.
Best wishes in submitting your abstracts!
