 General Information 

• Original research abstracts may be solicited for podium presentation or poster presentation.

• Abstracts that are not selected for podium presentation may be accepted as a poster presentation.

• Case studies may be submitted as abstracts.

• Preference will be given to original research that has not been presented elsewhere.

• Due to the ACCME Accreditation Criteria and Standards, SIS cannot display industry-sponsored research posters during any poster session that offers CME credit. Posters from research by commercial interests (defined by the ACCME as "any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by or used on patients") will be displayed separately.

• All abstracts selected for presentation from the podium or as a poster at the Annual Meeting will be published in Pain Medicine.

• Podium and poster presenters will receive a $100 discount on Annual Meeting registration.
  

 Submitter Requirements: 

1. In order to maintain an investigator-driven process, the submitter of the abstract should be the first (primary) author. Staff representatives from industry are not allowed to submit original research abstracts on behalf of an investigator. All abstract correspondence will be sent to the submitter (first/primary author).
2. If selected for presentation, the presenter need not be the first/primary author but must have been involved in the research. Once identified, SIS staff will communicate directly with the presenter regarding meeting logistics.
3. All authors must complete the financial disclosure survey by the submission deadline. Submissions without disclosures will not be evaluated.

Poster Presentation with Authors Sessions

All events will include a Poster Presentation with Authors session offering CME credit. This is an opportunity for authors to showcase their research. Presenting authors are expected to attend and present their poster to attendees during this session; if an author accepts the invitation but fails to present his or her poster, that may preclude future submissions.

Annual Meeting - Abstract Awards

All abstracts submitted for the SIS Annual Meeting will be evaluated for recognition as "Best Clinical Abstract" and "Best Basic Science Abstract."

Fellows and residents are especially invited to submit their research for consideration of the Best Fellow Abstract or Best Resident Abstract Awards. To be eligible for these awards, the fellow and resident must be first author of their abstract submissions. Fellows and residents need not be SIS members; however, at least one senior co-author/advisor must be a member in good standing. Winning abstracts will be presented from the podium. Documentation of active participation in a residency or fellowship program is required.

Best Fellow Abstract and Best Resident Abstract Award winners will receive the following assistance from the Society to attend the Annual Meeting:

• Waived registration fee
• Two nights' lodging at the meeting hotel
• Up to $500 toward airfare and ground transportation
• $40 per day (up to 2 days) meal allowance
  

Financial Disclosure Requirement

ALL authors must complete the Spine Intervention Society’s Disclosure Survey prior to the submission deadline.
