To be considered for the award, you must submit an abstract by the June 10 deadline and 1) affirm your desire to be considered for the award and 2) confirm your residency in a country designated by the World Bank as low or lower middle-income. Qualifying authors will also be required to submit a CV/Resume. The ASHG Program Committee will select award recipients based on the quality of submitted abstracts and applicant financial needs.
