Advances in Sleep and Circadian Science 2027
Call for Abstracts

Advances in Sleep and Circadian Science (ASCS) is being held February 19-22, 2027, at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center in Austin, Texas.

Share Your Science. Shape the Conversation.

Present your latest discoveries alongside the field’s leading investigators through poster sessions, trainee activities, networking events, and opportunities for selected oral presentations. Trainee travel awards are available for eligible presenters. Abstract submissions will be reviewed based on scientific merit and originality.

At ASCS 2027, there will be eight major scientific sessions, each including three invited speakers and one slot for platform presentation of an outstanding poster in a related field, with preference given to trainees or early-stage investigators within five years of an initial faculty (or equivalent) appointment.

The Call for Abstracts is now open.

  • ASCS 2027 is using the Oxford Abstracts system to gather submissions.
  • If you do not already have an Oxford Abstract account, you’ll need to create one. Click “Create an account” at the top of the login page.

Trainee Travel Awards

Trainees (undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and medical residents) and early-career investigators who submit a first-author abstract for poster presentation at the meeting are eligible to apply for a travel award.

Travel awards support trainee participation and development. Awards are based on the scientific merit of submitted abstracts.

Additional funding may be available for trainees from institutions without well-established sleep and circadian science programs. Applicants who wish to be considered for this funding opportunity must submit a CV and brief written statement.

To apply, indicate your interest during abstract submission. Applicants seeking consideration for the additional funding opportunity will be prompted to upload a CV and provide a brief written statement.

Award notifications will be sent by December 3, 2026.

Submission Requirements

Submit an abstract describing your research of interest for a poster presentation at the ASCS 2027 Poster Session. Submissions will undergo a review by the Sleep Research Society ASCS Program Task Force. Acceptance of abstracts will be based on scientific merit and originality.

At ASCS 2027, there will be eight major scientific sessions, each including three invited speakers and one slot for platform presentation of an outstanding poster in a related field, with preference given to trainees or early-stage investigators within five years of an initial faculty (or equivalent) appointment.
