The
deadline waits for the data: Science-oriented graduate students have
until March 1 to submit a poster for 2014 Washington, D.C.,
gathering.
To enable
more graduate students to participate in the American Psychological Association's
2014 convention, to be held Aug. 7-10 in Washington, D.C., APA is
sponsoring a special late-breaking poster session for cutting-edge research by
graduate students in psychological science. This poster session, “Cutting Edge
Research from Emerging Psychological Scientists: Late-Breaking Graduate Student
Posters,” is being organized by APA 's Science Student Council (SSC) and the
American Psychological Association of Graduate Students (APAGS) Science
Committee.
Submissions
for this session are due March 1, 2014, and notifications of selection
decisions will be sent byMarch 20, which will enable presenters to submit
separate applications for the APA Student
Travel Award before its April 1 application deadline. In
addition, graduate students who are APAGS members (or apply to join APAGS at
the time of their poster abstract submission) and are first authors on a poster
at the convention are eligible to have their convention early registration fee
waived. Details about how to get the fee waived will be sent to eligible
students in early spring. If you have questions about the fee waiver please
contact the convention
office before registering for convention. After the advance
registration deadline passes in early summer, the waiver will no longer be
available.
Although the
names of participants in this poster session will not be included in the
printed convention program due to its late-breaking nature, they will appear in
the online convention program and in the convention smartphone app.
In addition
to being part of a normal 50-minute poster session, the 10 abstracts of the 40
selected for the session that are rated most favorably by reviewers will be
included as part of a smaller group that is evaluated during the session. The
presenters of evaluated posters will receive written feedback on their posters
after the convention. The poster that is rated the highest by a panel of
faculty and graduate student judges will be named best poster of the session.
The first author of that poster will be awarded a free one-year membership (or
membership renewal) in APA courtesy of the APA Science Directorate and a free
APA publication that is currently in press (including all books up to $90 in
retail cost) courtesy of APAGS.
Eligibility
Applicants
for this session must be first author on the submission. Authors of posters may
not present more than one other poster or talk at the convention. Submissions
to this session should not be redundant or substantively similar to proposals
already submitted for the convention under the original application deadline.
Due to the late-breaking nature of this session, it may not be possible to prevent
schedule conflicts if authors of the posters are also presenting other material
at the convention.
Graduate
students in all fields of psychological science and neuroscience are eligible
to submit. Undergraduate students and faculty members are not eligible to serve
as first authors for this poster session, although they can be included as
additional authors on the poster.
How to
Apply
Submit an application form (PDF, 54KB) and an abstract
of no more than 200 words (text only; no tables/figures) by email to the Science
Directorate. APA Science Directorate staff will examine all applications
for eligibility. Poster submissions will be reviewed by members of the Science
Student Council and APAGS Science Committee and 40 posters will be selected for
inclusion in the session.
Application
materials must be received electronically on or before 5 p.m. (EST) on
March 1, 2014.
You may need
to email your
completed PDF and/or Word file attachments in more than one email due to size
limitations. The size of files attached to any one email must be less than
10MB. APA 's email system blocks files that are 10MB or larger. If you try to
send an email including attachments with a total that is larger than 10MB, your
email may not be received.
All
applicants will be notified of selection decisions via email by March 20.
Be sure to keep a copy of all submitted materials for your records.
