Notice for U.S.-based Researchers:

The U.S. government shutdown has disrupted access to UNOS/HRSA data, causing delays and possible unavailability.

For U.S.-based researchers who cannot access U.S.-specific transplant data at this time, ISHLT will allow a two-part abstract submission. To take advantage of this option, follow these two steps:

  1. Notify Susie Newton by email at susie.newton@ishlt.org.
  2. Submit a paid abstract that will act as a placeholder by the submission deadline.

ISHLT staff will contact affected abstract submitters with instructions for completing your submission once the U.S. government reopens.
