ANNOUNCEMENTS

The GRAMMER European Spine Journal Award 2016

Oswestry Disability Index website and translations

In order to encourage basic science research in the field of Spinal disorders, the European Spine Journal is proud to announce the 20.000 Euro GRAMMER European Spine Journal Award for basic science. 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 2015/2016) 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 2016 meeting which is being held in Berlin (Germany) from October 5–7, to present the paper and receive the award.

We have established a website for the ODI http://www.orthosurg.org.uk/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.
