[DIV28M] Call of Submissions for the 2015 APA Convention in Toronto!

Dear Division 28 Members-

 

                The submission deadline for the 2015 APA Convention in Toronto (August 6-9) is a little less than a month away!  Please consider submitting a proposal for a symposium, poster, or paper by December 1, 2014. If you have an idea for a proposal, but would like help, please do not hesitate to contact me, the 2015 program chair (mweaver@mercyhurst.edu).

                The division leadership would like to encourage symposia that involve both senior and junior scientists because one of the presidential initiatives for 2015 is to increase intergenerational collaboration and communication within Division 28.

                The highly successful NIDA/NIAAA Early Career Investigators Poster Session and Social Hour will again occur this year!  There will be travel funding opportunities for early career (e.g., students, postdocs, new to the field) and diversity candidates.  There will also be special consideration for local participants.  The session is open to all, and we encourage strong early career, diversity, and local applicants. 

 

Cheers,

Matt
