Advances in Sleep and Circadian Science Abstract Guidelines

Advances in Sleep and Circadian Science (ASCS) is being held February 14-17, 2025, at the Sheraton Sand Key Resort in Clearwater Beach, Florida.

The Call for Abstracts is now open.
Submit an abstract describing your research of interest for a poster presentation at the ASCS 2025 Poster Session. Submissions will undergo a review by the Sleep Research Society Scientific Offerings Committee. Acceptance of abstracts will be based on scientific merit and originality.

At ASCS 2025, there will be eight major scientific sessions, during which three invited speakers will be presenting. Two speaking slots are being held open to be filled from among the abstracts submitted by trainees or early-stage investigators. To be eligible to be considered for these speaking slots, you must be a trainee or within five years of an initial faculty (or equivalent) appointment.

The poster abstract submissions deadline is October 27, 2024.

Trainee Travel Awards

Trainees (undergraduate or graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and medical residents) who submit a first-author abstract for poster presentation at the meeting are eligible to apply for a travel award. Conferral of awards will be based on blind review of abstracts. Indicate interest on the abstract submission form.
