Share Your Research in Phoenix!

We invite you to submit an abstract for the 5th Annual INPCS Meeting (INPCS25, “Building the Future of Care”), taking place September 9–11, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona! Whether your research is complete or still in progress, we want to hear about it. Abstracts from previously presented work are also welcome.

We are accepting submissions for both:

Special Event: Neuropalliative Care Research Summit (NeuroCARES)

INPCS25 will be immediately preceded by the 2nd NeuroCARES on Tuesday, September 9, at the same venue. NeuroCARES is an NIH-funded, research-focused event designed for neuropalliative care researchers to connect, identify research gaps, and set future priorities.
