The abstract submission fee is a non-refundable processing fee for each abstract submission based on your membership status at the time of submission. Payment of the fee is not based on acceptance of your abstract submission.

An abstract submission is not considered complete until the submission fee is paid. After paying the submission fee, you can still update your abstract until the deadline: Thursday, June 8, 2023 at 8:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time.

Payments for abstract fees are by credit card only (i.e. Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express) in the abstract submission system. We do not process checks, purchase orders, or wire transfers. There can be no exceptions. If you require an invoice before paying your fee, please contact meetings@ashg.org.

1. • Once you submit your payment, you will see a link that says “Print My Receipt.” You can download your receipt via this link. You will also receive a copy of your receipt via email.

The abstract submission fee does not register you for the meeting. Separate meeting registration fees apply. All presenters must register to attend ASHG 2023. Registration will open in mid-May.

Reminder: Do not withdraw a paid abstract submission to make edits or submit a new abstract. Refunds will not be issued for abstracts that are withdrawn, and payment will be required for any resubmissions. Contact ASHG’s Scientific Program Team for assistance with editing or transferring an abstract to an alternate session if needed.

Cancellation/Refund Policy: The abstract submission fee is non-refundable. ASHG will not provide a refund if an abstract is rejected or withdrawn. Payment of the fee is not based on acceptance of your abstract submission. The fee will not be reimbursed if you join after you’ve submitted an abstract.
