US DOHaD Abstract Submission Process
There will be two types of presentations at the conference: oral and poster, and the top three presenters for each presentation format will be recognized and awarded. At submission, authors can choose a theme that best aligns with their abstract from the following:
- Topic 1: Exposome: Big data, big impacts
- Topic 2: Non-chemical stressors and child health
- Topic 3: Multi-generational health effects
- Topic 4: Multi-level approach on metabolic diseases
- Topic 5: Innovations and novel approaches
Presenters can indicate if they are willing to give an oral presentation, but it does not guarantee selection. Leadership and organizing committees will review all abstracts for scientific merit and content. Outstanding abstracts fitting the themes will be selected for oral presentation. All presentations will be in-person, with posters presented during evening poster sessions on July 9th, and specific oral platform presentation times outlined in the final program. Full abstracts will be published on the website.
The deadline to submit abstracts for oral presentation consideration has CLOSED. Abstracts for poster presentation consideration must be submitted online by 11:59 PM (EST) on May 17, 2026.
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Abstracts must be written in clear, concise English as a single paragraph without headers, references, tables, figures, logos, or special formatting. Submissions must include objectives or hypotheses, brief methods, results with sample size and statistical analyses, and conclusions. The title must be in title case and no more than 150 characters. The abstract body may not exceed 500 words. Membership is not required to submit an abstract, but it is required for award eligibility. The first author must present, register and attend if accepted. All co-authors must approve the submission and disclose any conflicts of interest.
NOTIFICATION OF ABSTRACT ACCEPTANCE
Authors of abstracts submitted for oral presentation will be notified by e-mail of the US DOHaD Program Committee's decision regarding acceptance of the abstract approximately 3 weeks after the abstract submission deadline (4/28/26).
Abstracts submitted for poster presentations will be reviewed on a rolling basis up until the 11:59 PM (EST) May 17th, 2026 deadline and will not be eligible for consideration for oral platform presentation format.
