2024 Annual Research Meeting (June 29 - July 2, 2024)

On June 29-July 2, 2024, health services researchers, policy analysts, clinicians and community members using evidence and data to transform health and health care will once again convene
in-person for the AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting (ARM). This year's conference will take place in Baltimore, Maryland, and breakouts will be 75 minutes. All submitters should be prepared to present in-person.

An important annual milestone for the community, the ARM is AcademyHealth's biggest and most popular meeting of the year, offering an irreplaceable forum for connection, recognition, reflection, learning and professional networking opportunities.

  1. As always, protecting the health and safety of our attendees is our number one priority.
    • To keep everyone as safe as possible, leading up to the event, AcademyHealth will be closely monitoring local conditions, risk factors, and applicable laws, regulations, and guidance. Because these factors are frequently changing, we will continue to update the ARM website as new guidance is released.
    • Though providing proof of vaccination is not required to attend the conference, AcademyHealth encourages all attendees, staff, and contractors to have up to date COVID-19 vaccinations prior to the meeting date to keep all participants as safe as possible.
    • AcademyHealth encourages the use of masks in indoor spaces to reduce the risk of spreading of a variety of illnesses, including COVID-19. While masks are optional, AcademyHealth expects all attendees to respect and support the masking decisions of others.
