Abstract Awards

CSRS recognizes outstanding, unpublished abstracts with CSRS Top Abstract Awards.

CSRS honors 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place abstract awards in clinical, basic science, and resident/fellow categories.

• 1^st Place Clinical, Basic Science and Resident/Fellow Top Abstract Award - $2,000.00 each
• 2^nd Place Clinical, Basic Science and Resident/Fellow Top Abstract Award - $1,000.00 each
• 3^rd Place Clinical, Basic Science and Resident/Fellow Top Abstract Award - $500.00 each

All abstracts that receive a Top Abstract Award will also be invited to publish their work in the CSRS official journal, Clinical Spine Surgery. A special issue of the journal will be published next year that exclusively features CSRS Top Abstracts from the 53^rd Annual Meeting.

You must indicate you are interested in receiving a CSRS Top Abstract Award on the abstract submission form to be considered for an award.
