As in preceding years, the 2024 FRMC will again accept abstracts addressing basic science issues in reproductive biology and clinical discoveries in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Abstract submission deadline will end October 1, 2024, at 5:00PM U.S. East Coast Time.

Abstracts are to follow standard ASRM abstract specifications (see example below).

The FRMC will select 3 prize papers, with the 1st Prize Paper receiving a monetary award of US$1,000, the 2nd Prize Paper of US$500, and the 3rd Prize Paper of US$250. In addition, all three prize papers will be highlighted as part of a Conference Report by the journal in the January 2025 issue of the Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics (JARG), an expedited peer review and publication.                                                                

As a new feature, the three prize papers and several other selected accepted abstracts will be included as oral presentations in Hall B, with the remaining accepted abstracts accepted as poster presentations. All accepted abstracts will be listed in JARG’s Conference Report and will be presented in full length in the attendees’ conference package.                                                                 

The number of submitted abstracts per attendee is not restricted. The submitting author must, however, be registered as an attendee of the conference.
