Abstract Submission Guide
The abstract submission deadline is 23:59 Eastern Daylight Time (USA) on 21 September 2026 (03:59 GMT on 22 September 2026).
One Abstract Rule
Only one abstract is permitted per presenting author with exceptions made for second submissions to an Education and Policy (EP) session.
Your Author List
You must list yourself as an author when submitting your abstract as the abstract form will not do it for you.

Payment of the full registration fee and abstract submission fee is required, plus the completed information that must accompany the abstract. (Abstracts will not be considered unless the presenting author has registered for the meeting and paid the full registration and abstract submission fee.)
All fees are in U.S. Dollars.

Submission of Additional Abstracts to Designated Education and Policy Sessions
It is the meeting's policy to allow a second submission to a designated education/policy (EP) Session. If you wish to submit in one of these categories, select the Education and Policy session category on the submission form.
A paid abstract submission fee must accompany the first abstract. The second abstract can be submitted to an assigned education or policy session without paying a second abstract fee.
Session Codes
To assist the organizing committee in assigning your abstract to an appropriate session, you should use the session codes and enter your first, second, and third choices under the Session Topic Code portion of the abstract form. All three choices must be indicated if you wish for your abstract to be considered. Be sure to include the complete code for the appropriate session. While every attempt will be made to accommodate your session requests, the committee cannot guarantee your abstract will be placed in any of the sessions chosen. Priority is given to the overall scientific program, and therefore, final placement is solely at the discretion of the organizing committee.
Abstract Preparation Specifications
All abstracts must be in English, using metric units. Do not include chemical or mathematical formulae, Greek characters, illustrations, figures, or photos. Do not indent paragraphs. Use a single space between sentences. Use only the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) character set.
The title of the abstract must be in all caps and must not exceed 160 characters. The body of the abstract must adhere to a maximum character count of 1600 including spaces.
