- the specific objectives of the study;
- a brief statement of method, if pertinent;
- a summary of the main results;
- a conclusion containing the main message of the paper. (It is not acceptable to state, for
instance: "our data concerning... will be presented" or "The results will be discussed".) - figures, images, or tables of any kind are not permitted.
2) There is a maximum 250 words for the Abstract body, including acknowledgements of support.
3) When using non-standard abbreviations, spell them out in full the first time they appear in the text followed by the abbreviations in parentheses. Capitalize the first letter of trade names.
4) Do NOT enter author or affiliation information in the abstract text box.

The Program 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. From the online submissions, the Program Committee determines the qualified abstracts to be presented during the Data Blitz and Poster sessions. All submitted abstracts will be judged by a committee to ensure a high quality of scientific research.
Abstracts will be accepted as a poster presentation unless there are issues related to:
- Ethics
- Lack of relationship to brain/cranial or spine/spinal cord trauma
- Lack of actual data in the abstract
- Lack of data details (p-values, sample size, % changes, etc.)
The Program Committee will select abstracts from all submissions to be presented as posters during the Poster Sessions. Please note that authors whose abstracts are selected for poster presentation will also be eligible to participate in the Data Blitz session if the presenting author is a trainee (undergraduate student, graduate, nursing or medical student, postdoctoral fellow, or resident).
The Program Committee will select abstracts from all submissions to be presented orally during the Data Blitz sessions. Each presenter will be limited to 1-3 slides and a maximum of 3 minutes of presentation time. Data Blitz presenters will ALSO present a poster.
All accepted abstracts will be published electronically (online) in the Journal of Neurotrauma to coordinate with day one of the conference, and will be included the issue that publishes following the conference.
All Abstracts will be published online in the Journal of Neurotrauma.
