Rich Data: ARP Abstracts at ACR Convergence 2025

It’s Go Time

If you are catching this article in a quiet moment between patients or meetings, here are the key points to be mindful of this year:

• Abstracts are due a month earlier this year! The abstract submission site opened on March 25, 2025, and closes on May 13 at noon (EDT) at https://rheumatology.org/annual-meeting-abstract-submission.
• Earlier abstract due dates also mean earlier reviewing—which will occur in June.

As always, we value your feedback. Research is in a constant state of change, and as such, we are always looking out for ways to improve the event and process. If you have questions about abstract submission, are interested in reviewing abstracts or have feedback to share, contact me ([email protected]).
