An abstract is a short summary of your study. It is a highly-structured writing exercise. Like a paper, it should contain an introduction, methods, results, and conclusions (although these actual headings are not required). The abstract should be written as a single paragraph. Abstracts have a proscribed length—for the SfN annual meeting, the body of the abstract should be no more than 2,300 characters, including punctuation but not spaces. This makes them deceptively difficult to write, because they need to convey a lot of information in a very small space. If done well, it makes the reader want to learn more about your research. Two example abstracts that incorporate all the key components and meet all the criteria can be found below.

Support contributed by NINDS, in collaboration with other institutes of NIH and NSF This workshop is for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and beginning faculty at all stages of training and career development. If you want information on NIH and NSF funding opportunities and how to go about getting funded, this workshop is for you. There will be brief presentations on the various fellowships and career development awards available. Program and Review staff from NIH and NSF will also hold roundtable discussions on how to write a fellowship or career award grant. We will discuss the Do's and Dont's of how to apply, good grantsmanship, picking the appropriate mentor/sponsor, what to expect from review, and other issues. This is a good opportunity for you to get to know NIH and NSF staff, establish contacts, and get ahead. Registration is not required, and all are welcome.

The Exhibit Guide is distributed to all annual meeting attendees. Attendees refer to the Exhibit Guide during and long after the meeting. Attendees are much more likely to visit an exhibit space based on an ad detailing how your product or service can improve their work.
