ANNOUNCEMENTS

GRAMMER European Spine Journal Award 2020

Oswestry Disability Index website and translations

For Basic Science and Applied Research

We have established a website for the ODI. One of its functions is to carry validated translations of the instrument for use by non-English speakers. Currently we have versions in 13 languages. We are sure there are others we have not listed. We need to know the version number that has been translated, validation process and any publications that have used it.

In order to encourage basic science research in the field of spinal disorders, the European Spine Journal is proud to announce the GRAMMER European Spine Journal Award for Basic Science and Applied Research (20,000 Euro). This is the highest amount of an award in spinal research, worldwide. Each paper submitted to the Journal dealing with basic science qualifies automatically for this award as soon as it has been published. The winning paper will be selected at the end of each academic year (for the next time in 2019/2020) and will be announced in one of the following issues. The GRAMMER Award will also be presented at the next EUROSPINE meeting. At least one author of the winning paper must attend at his/her own expense the EUROSPINE 2020 meeting, which is being held in Vienna (Austria) from October 7–9, to present the paper and receive the award.

The winning paper of the GRAMMER European Spine Journal Award for the best basic science and applied research paper published in the European Spine Journal in the last academic year 2018/2019 has been: Macrophage polarization contributes to local inflammation and structural change in the multifidus muscle after intervertebral disc injury.
