Encouraging trainees to submit relevant poster abstracts for the upcoming USASP meeting that fit within the broad scope of the SIG. 


A small committee will be assembled to overview abstracts and grant two awards to trainees (one related to psychosocial factors; one related to intervention). We are soliciting a SIG member to work with co-chairs to establish a USASP sub-Twitter for the SIG.
