You have until Friday Feb. 3, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. EST to submit a poster for APA Convention, Aug 3-6 in Washington DC
The Committee on Early Career Psychologists (CECP) is hosting a new 50-minute Research and Innovation Poster Session in the Exhibit Hall of Convention this year in the nation’s capital. This session has a rare, extended deadline of February 3rd to allow more people to participate in Convention. A maximum of three posters will be pre-selected for an non-cash award of distinction from CECP, conditional on presenting a finished poster at Convention.
Eligibility:
- The first author must be an early Career Psychologist within 10 years of their graduate degree,presenting on any research findings, new ideas, innovations or advances in the profession.Alternatively, we will accept applications from any other individual whose topic squarely addresses concerns relevant to early career psychologists or the early career developmental phase.
- Due to our later-than-typical deadline, names of participants in this poster session may not be included in the printed convention program but should appear in the online Convention program and mobile app. Also, it may not be possible to prevent schedule conflicts if authors of the posters are also presenting other material at Convention.
- The first author on the submission should be expected to participate if the poster is accepted.
- CECP will not require APA membership. Members and non-members alike will be required to register for Convention.
- According to Convention rules, authors of posters may not present more than one additional poster or talk at Convention.
- Submissions to this session should not be redundant or substantively similar to proposals already accepted for Convention under the original application deadline.
- Poster sessions allow presenters and attendees to engage in extended discussions regarding the author’s presentation that is in illustrated format on a poster board.
