National Neurotrauma Symposium Student Competition
There is a Call for Abstracts for the NNS Symposium with a submission deadline of April 15, 2011.
The NNS Abstract Committee will determine the qualified abstracts to be presented as posters during the Abstract Poster and Open Communications sessions. All accepted abstracts will be published online in the Journal of Neurotrauma immediately prior to the conference.
The Abstract Committee reviews and grades each abstract submission for quality, ethical guidelines and scientific merit. A blind grading process is used to ensure anonymity and equality.
Notifications of acceptance will be emailed to submitting authors by May 1, 2011.
The sixteen highest-scoring student abstracts will be selected as Student Competition Finalists.
The Finalists' posters will be displayed in a featured location for the entire symposium. They will also present their posters to the Abstract Judges for final scoring during Poster Session A on July 11th.
All poster finalists will receive a certificate and be recognized onstage at the Awards Ceremony Dinner. The top five (5) highest scoring poster finalists will also be recognized during the Awards Ceremony and will receive a crystal trophy, scientific textbooks and a monetary prize of $500 each from the National Neurotrauma Symposium
After the Student Competition Finalists are determined, the oral presentations are selected from the remaining abstract pool (Students and Non-Students) for the Open Communications Sessions. Please note if you are selected for an oral presentation, you will be assigned to an Open Communications Session and NOT a Poster Session.
Once the Student Finalists and Open Communications presenters have been selected, the remaining accepted abtracts will be assigned a final poster number and time slot to present during one of the four Poster Sessions during the symposium.
