Abstract
Submissions

Once registration is open, presenting authors will need to register for the meeting in order to submit an abstract. The link for abstract submission will be sent in a confirming email message immediately after registration is completed.

Submission Deadlines
Oral Abstracts: February 28, 2025
Poster Abstracts: March 31, 2025

On both dates, the cutoff time is 23:59 Pacific Time (U.S. west coast). You must be registered to attend the meeting prior to submitting an abstract.

Guidelines
A template will not be provided. Submissions will be subject to the following limitations: Title = 40 words; Abstract = 400 words; image files cannot be included. Authors should be entered in the same order they are to appear in the program.

You will be able to return and complete the submission later if you do not have all the required information initially, however the submission must be completed by the deadline date. All subsequent logins to amend an abstract must be done with the same user account as the original submission. Submitters are responsible for the accuracy of the abstract and author list!

Posters
Poster boards will hang vertically. Poster size should be A0 or no larger than 3 feet wide by 4 feet tall.

PI Ranking
If multiple oral abstracts are submitted from one lab, the PI will be asked to rank the abstracts. Emails will be sent to PIs by March 4 and PIs must reply by March 11 to have their rankings considered by the organizers. In the case of multiple senior PIs on an abstract, only one can be identified as the contact for this ranking.

Digital Content Library (DCL)
The RNA Society has suspended the DCL program for 2025. You will not be required to upload a link to your recorded oral presentation or poster PDF.

Decisions
Decisions about oral presentations will be sent by email in mid-April. All oral abstracts which are not selected for a talk will be automatically accepted as posters.  One submission is sufficient – please do not submit the same abstract twice for both oral and poster.

Questions regarding abstract submission should be sent by email to RNA2025@nullrnasociety.org.
