Abstract Submissions

Abstract submissions will open in late January, once the meeting registration is open.  All presenting authors must register for the meeting in order to submit or present an abstract. The link for abstract submissions will be sent in a confirming email message immediately after registration is completed.

Each registrant may submit ONLY ONE abstract; however, they may appear as a co-author on multiple submissions. The submission link in the registration confirmation is only good for one abstract submission.  Please DO NOT submit an abstract more than once.

Submission Deadlines
Oral Abstracts: Late February 2026
Poster Abstracts:  Late March 2026

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.

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 shortly after the submission deadline, and PIs will be asked to reply within a very short time (a deadline will be provided) 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.

Decisions
Decision notices for oral presentations will be sent in April. All oral abstracts which are not selected for an oral presentation will be automatically accepted for a poster presentation.

Questions regarding abstract submissions should be sent by email to RNA2026@nullrnasociety.org.
