The convention will be held from August 24 to August 28 in San Francisco, California. You do not have to be an APA member to submit a proposal. Submissions for the APA Division 14 program will be accepted from APA and SIOP members, as well as individuals sponsored by an APA or SIOP member. The Board of Convention Affairs has established uniform requirements for all proposals, which are detailed below. Mainly, in getting your submission together, note that APA distinguishes between presentations and programs with different submission procedures for each.
Presentations are individual papers to be presented either in a paper or poster session.
Members of the Division 14 Program Committee conduct a blind review of each presentation submitted. Programs are sessions with multiple presenters and include traditional formats such as symposia, debates, and panel discussions. Programs with creative nontraditional formats are encouraged. Unlike presentations, programs are NOT blind reviewed. It is important for the program committee to know who the participants are in order to evaluate the proposal.
