    Abstract Types

    Regular Abstracts

    The time frame to submit your latest research in the cancer immunotherapy field to the 37th Annual Meeting & Pre-Conference Programs (SITC 2022) for consideration as an oral abstract presentation, rapid oral abstract presentation, and/or poster abstract presentation is May 4, 2022, until 5 p.m. PDT on July 28, 2022.

    Late-Breaking Abstracts

    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 application submissions are due by 5 p.m. PDT on July 28, 2022, 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. 18, 2022, to 5 p.m. PDT on Aug. 30, 2022. If an application does not qualify for late-breaking abstract submission, the submitter will be notified by Aug. 9, 2022, and will have the opportunity to submit a regular abstract by 5 p.m. PDT on Aug. 12, 2022.

    LBAs are considered for, but not limited to, oral abstract presentations during the LBA Sessions from 11:10–11:40 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 10, 2022 and 11:25–11:55 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 11, 2022.

    Young Investigator Award Abstracts

    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 1:25–2:50 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11, 2022.
