In evaluating symposium proposals the Council will favor those proposals whose topic concerns newly emerging fields, fields ripe for synthesis, and fields different from those that have been included in recent Society symposia. The Council particularly encourages proposals that include young investigators and others traditionally underrepresented in Society symposia. The Council will select only two proposals for half-day symposia at its meeting in June 1998. All proposers will be notified of the Council's decision in early July. The Society provides partial travel support for organizers and participants in sponsored symposia.
