The SMM2021 Biennial Conference will have a limited Abstract Submission for 15 days, starting Monday, January 3 at 12pm (noon) EST until Monday, January 17 12pm (noon) EST for those persons who now have data and can attend the conference, in person or virtually, August 1-5, 2022 (Workshops July 30-31). These new abstracts will undergo the same review process as all previously submitted abstracts. We anticipate all new abstracts submitted by in-person attendees will be presented in the poster format, as the oral presentation program is relatively locked in. However, some abstracts may be chosen as or changed to oral presentations subject to slot availability and quality of abstracts. For those unlikely to attend in-person, we encourage using this abstract submission period to submit for virtual presentation. This format allows for great flexibility and creativity of presentation for long and short formats. The traditional oral and poster formats can be completely reimagined. Authors will be notified in early February 2022. Please refer to the conference website for instructions on how to format your abstracts (www.smmconference.org). We look forward to your abstracts and seeing you at SMM2021! Amy C. Hirons, PhD SMM2021 Biennial Conference Co-Chair Amy C.
