Abstract Information

Regular Abstract

Submit your latest research in the cancer immunotherapy field to the 34th Annual Meeting for consideration as an oral abstract presentation, rapid    oral abstract presentation, and/or poster abstract presentation from April 9 until 5 p.m. PDT on Aug. 1, 2019.

Late-Breaking Abstract

Late-breaking abstract (LBA) submission is solely for abstracts with late-breaking data and not for abstracts submitted “late”. The late-breaking abstract deadline is not intended to be an extension of the general submission deadline.

All LBA submitters must submit an application by 5 p.m. PDT on Aug. 1, 2019 to be eligible for the LBA submission period. Applications will be reviewed and all submitters will be notified if they qualify to submit a late-breaking abstract during the submission period from Aug. 23, 2019 to 5 p.m. PDT on Sept. 12, 2019. If an application does not qualify for late-breaking abstract submission, the submitter will be notified by Aug. 9 and will have the opportunity to submit a regular abstract by 5 p.m. PDT on Aug. 14, 2019.

Late-breaking abstracts are considered for, but not limited to, oral abstract presentations during the Late-Breaking Abstract Sessions from 12:00 – 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 8 and 11:50 a.m. – 12:20 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9.

Young Investigator Award Abstract

Regular abstracts with primary and presenting authors that are students, postdoctoral research fellows, clinical fellows, or junior faculty with three or fewer years on staff and are current SITC members, may be eligible to receive a Young Investigator Award. Young Investigator Award abstracts require a letter of recommendation as well as additional information regarding the percentage of contribution by the primary and presenting author.

Those selected for the Presidential Travel Award will be invited to give an oral abstract presentation during the Presidential Session from 2:05 – 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9, 2019.
