Accepted posters will be judged by a panel of neurologists on Saturday and Sunday, February 20 and 21, at the 2016 Annual Meeting, and the top three winning posters will be given cash prizes. Please coordinate your participation with your Training Program Director and submit an abstract to Nancy Lowe at the NCNS by fax to (919) 833-2023 or by e-mail (preferred) to nlowe@ncmedsoc.org no later than January 15, 2016. We will accept as many posters as space permits. Please note the following instructions: 1) Abstract Eligibility: Original abstracts that either have or have not been presented at other meetings will be considered. They are eligible if they have been published; however, abstracts based upon full papers that have been published are not eligible. 2) Abstract Format: Title should be brief and clearly state content of paper. List name and degree for each author. Organize body of abstract as follows: (a) Purpose for study, (b) Simple statement of methods, (c) Summary of results, (d) Statement of conclusions. If your abstract is selected for the poster session, you will be notified by January 30 so that you will have time to prepare your poster (no larger than 4’ x 4’ in size). For those posters selected, the society will cover one night’s lodging for one presenter per poster. We hope you will plan to attend the meeting regardless of whether you submit an abstract for the poster session. Registration brochures will be mailed and online registration will open this fall, or you may contact the NCNS to be put on the mailing list. As always, meeting registration is free for residents, fellows and students.
