Submit Your Congress Abstract Today

Submit your abstract for the ONS 35th Annual Congress, May 13-16 in San Diego, CA.

Selection of abstracts will be based solely on a blind peer review. Abstracts may be selected for presentation in podium sessions or presentation as a poster, and published.

Abstracts submitted must be of the author's own completed work, work in progress, or may or may not have been presented previously at the local or regional level. The primary author must be a registered nurse, a licensed healthcare professional, or a doctorally prepared individual. The primary author must also consent to be the contact person. The scoring criteria for submitted abstracts is based on significance, background, a clearly defined purpose, measurable goals, clear presentation, and cutting-edge innovation.
