Abstract Submission Process
ASGCT will review all submitted abstracts and select abstracts for
either the oral or poster sessions. ASGCT expects that all abstracts
selected for presentation will be presented by the authors and that
submitted abstracts will not be withdrawn. All accepted abstracts
become the property of ASGCT and will be published in Molecular Therapy
and on the ASGCT website. Please do not submit an abstract if you are
not prepared to travel to the meeting and present it in the form
selected by ASGCT.
Electronic Submission
All abstracts submitted for the ASGCT 13th Annual Meeting are submitted electronically via the ASGCT website at www.asgct.org. There is no fee for submitting an abstract. The abstract submission link is now live.
Eligibility
Members of ASGCT, as well as nonmembers, are eligible to submit
abstracts. Submitting an abstract does not register you for the Annual
Meeting. You must also register for the meeting. Meeting registration
will be available online at www.asgct.org in December 2009.
Review Process
Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the abstract category. Authors must
indicate the review category (only one) during the electronic
submission process.

ASGCT will be offering up to 60 travel grants to posdoctoral fellows
and students who are Associate Members of ASGCT. Nonmember postdoctoral
