The Liver Meeting® Abstract Awards
The top candidates for each award will present their research results at The Liver Meeting® -- AASLD's Annual Meeting -- and Postgraduate Course, and will be designated in the program and the supplement issue of HEPATOLOGY as an award winner. Acceptance of the awards does not guarantee publication in any other AASLD-sponsored journal.
Any abstract submitted by a corresponding author meeting the criteria is eligible for the prize consideration. Recipients will be announced in late July and presentation of the awards will be made at The Liver Meeting®. There are no citizenship requirements.
