National Capital Area Traumatic Brain Injury Research Symposium 2019
National Capital Area Traumatic Brain Injury Research Symposium welcomes the submission of abstracts for oral presentations and poster displays at the 2019 Symposium. Please note the abstract text word limit is 675 words.
A poster judging session will take place during the Symposium for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, with recognition for the top 3 in each category. Posters will be judged on scientific merit. The poster awards ceremony will occur on Tuesday, March 5.
Poster finalists will also participate in a "data blitz" style session during the morning of Monday, March 4 to provide an introduction to their poster and encourage poster attendance. Selected poster finalists will be invited to give an oral slide presentation which emphasizes the most important and innovative aspects of their research that will be presented subsequently in the poster sessions. Each "data blitz" presenter will have a strict limit of 3 minutes and no more than 3 slides.
Due to limited space, we may not be able to accept all submissions. We encourage submitters to submit their best science or work to combine similar projects into one poster abstract submission. Abstracts should state results and be written to address selection based on scientific merit.
Presenters selected to give an oral presentation will be required to sign a disclosure statement. The NCA TBI Symposium will be offering Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits to qualified attendees and all CME activities must be free of the control of commercial interests. Therefore, as a presenter, you must disclose all relevant financial relationships with any commercial interest.
