Registration Awards
All postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduate students are eligible to receive registration awards that may cover up to two-thirds of the registration fee. To apply, please prepare (1) an abstract of the presentation you intend to submit to the meeting (see Abstract Guidelines below for details), (2) a paragraph explaining how attending the meeting will benefit your career, and (3) a letter of recommendation from your primary advisor, including a statement on available funds. Please send your application materials as specified in the registration form by November 6, 2026.
If applying for a registration award, please do not register for the conference until you receive notification of the award decision by November 20, 2026. If accepted, we will provide you with a registration code and instructions on how to proceed with registration.
All applicants will receive a $50 discounted registration fee.
Abstract and Poster Guidelines
Abstracts: Please submit a one-page abstract of your presentation in PDF format (8.5 x 11 in. dimensions) with (1) the title of your poster/talk, (2) a complete author list, and (3) author affiliations. Please note that the uploaded PDF will be used directly in our program booklet, so accuracy is crucial.
