Thanks to the support of our Gold Partner, Anthony Nolan, we have been able to establish the Anthony Nolan fund. This fund aims to support abstract submissions by organisations from a World Bank Indexed Low Income or Lower Middle-Income country. It allows 1 complimentary registration to be gifted per abstract accepted for abstract or poster presentation.

If you submit an abstract and reside in a Upper Middle-Income Country or High-Income Country, you are able to register 1 author per abstract at a reduced registration rate, once your abstract is accepted.

The International Scientific Programme Committee invites you to contribute to the programme by submitting an abstract for possible inclusion in the 14th International Donor Registry Conference and WMDA Meetings in 2024.

Please follow the abstract guidelines below, to help you through the submission process.

Abstract Title

A brief title that clearly indicates the content of the contribution (maximum of 30 words).

Please avoid abbreviations in the abstract title. Abbreviations may be used if they refer to gene names using the standardised nomenclature, and in the body of the abstract if defined when first used. Do not use capitals or capitalise words that are not nouns.

2. Check grammar and spelling, sentence construction and punctuation before submission.
