 THE
ABSTRACT COMMITTEE has determined
the qualified abstracts to be presented as posters during
the Abstract Poster and Open Communications sessions. All
accepted abstracts will be published a special Abstract Proceedings
issue of the Journal of Neurotrauma, which will be distributed
to delegates at the conference.

 STUDENT
POSTER COMPETITION FINALISTS
The Abstract Committee
has reviewed and assigned a grade to each abstract submitted for
the student competition. A blind grading process was used to ensure
anonymity and equality. The Top 16 student abstracts will
be displayed onsite in a featured location for the duration of the
symposium. These sixteen abstracts will receive a final judging
onsite at the conference, after which the scores will be tabulated
to determine the winners of the competition. The top five (5) abstracts
will be recognized during the Awards Ceremony and will receive a
certificate and a cash award of $500.00.
In addition, the top three
winners will receive a one year subscription to Developmental Neuroscience,
a multi-disciplinary journal publishing neuroscience papers covering
all stages of invertebrate, vertebrate, and human development.

PRESENTATION GUIDELINES
*TOP
STUDENT ABSTRACTS will be displayed for
the duration of the Symposium.*
All accepted posters will
be displayed in the Grand Ballroom. Please be sure
to set up and remove your posters during the times indicated on
the Scientific Program. Posters left remaining after the session
removal period will be removed and discarded. NNS is not responsible
for lost or discarded posters.
Posters must be no larger
than 4'0”h x 6'0”w (120cm height x 180cm width) and should be brought
in person by the submitting author(s) or a colleague who is attending
the conference. Posters sent via mail will not be displayed. Ideally
a poster should be self-explanatory, clear and specific, and should
present the material logically and legibly.
Please
include the poster number, title of the abstract and the names of
the presenting authors in the upper left hand corner of your poster.
For your
convenience, push pins (3/8” shaft) will be provided for your use
in displaying your poster, however please DO NOT mount or laminate
your poster, as you may experience difficulty in attaching it to
the display board . If you will be rolling up your poster for
travel, we recommend you reverse roll it upon your arrival to avoid
the tendency it may have to curl and thereby "pop" off
the poster board.
 STUDENT
TRAVEL GRANT AWARDEES
NNS is pleased to offer a limited number of travel grants for postdoctoral
fellows and graduate students presenting their exciting results.
Funding provided by an NIH grant allows for twenty (20) student
travel grants. Grant awards are given based on financial need
and merit. Travel Grant winners will be notified via email
in early May. NOTE: Travel grant winners must register by
JULY 1 and attend the Symposium in order to receive their award.
