Furloughed Federal Employee Abstract Submission Request
Federal employees who were furloughed during the government shutdown and were unable to submit an abstract by the regular abstract deadline can request to submit an oral abstract to the AAS 247 Meeting. Please submit a Furloughed Federal Employee Abstract Submission Request form by December 1, 11:59 EST PM. Any requests after this deadline will not be considered for the meeting.

Submission Process and Guidelines

Abstracts must be submitted through the presenting author's AAS record. Co-authors are not eligible to substitute as the presenting author.

• Types of Abstracts

Making Changes after the Submission Deadline

We understand that edits sometimes need to be made to abstracts after they are submitted. Abstracts submitted by the regular deadline are allowed a brief period for minor edits. We try hard to accommodate edits and changes as we lead up to the conference, but due to certain publishing deadlines, we will be unable to edit abstracts within four weeks of the meeting start date.

If you have a problem with the scheduling of your presentation, please email the abstract help desk. We will try to accommodate your request if possible.
