To provide early-career investigators with more opportunities to engage within the network, students and trainees are encouraged to submit an abstract for the ASAP 2023 meetings. Due to capacity limitations, the abstract submission process will be used to determine meeting attendance as well as spotlight certain projects for further presentation. Each ASAP team has been allotted a maximum of five (5) total trainee attendance slots (3 for the San Diego meeting; 2 for the London meeting).

Before You Submit:

Review the below guidelines before drafting and submitting an abstract:

Who is eligible to submit?

  • The presenting author is required to ensure that all co-authors are aware of the content of the abstract before submission.
  • The presenting author must be listed as the first author.

How do I submit?

  • Abstracts must be submitted via FourWaves abstract management system. Emailed abstracts will not be considered.
  • Before initiating a submission, please allow for sufficient time to complete the form in entirety (~15-20 mins). The submission form cannot be saved to complete another time; if you close this form without submitting, your content will be lost.
  • It is strongly advised that you draft your abstract text in a separate document to allow for adequate editing and proofing prior to submission via the event website.
  • Abstracts may not be edited/updated after final submission.

What should I submit?

  • Submitted abstracts should represent original research and participants are encouraged to present unpublished data related to their ASAP funded work. The title should be brief and descriptive, and the body should include objectives, methods, results, and conclusions. Please submit symbols as words (e.g. alpha-synuclein).
  • Abstracts must be allocated to a specific theme, based on current ASAP subgroup organization.
  • See examples of abstracts linked here.

Abstracts should be formatted as followed:

  • Abstract title – limited to 20 words in UPPER CASE
  • Abstract text – limited to 300 words (references are not required but do count against word count)
  • Abstract layout – the following sections are required:
    • Objectives
    • Methods
    • Results
    • Conclusions

What happens after I submit?

  • Your abstract is not successfully submitted until you receive a confirmation e-mail after clicking the final submit button. If you do not receive a confirmation e-mail, please contact us at meetings@asap.science.
  • The event organizers will review all submitted abstracts. Notification regarding abstract acceptance and presentation scheduling will be sent to the submitting author.
