Procedures for Submitting Proposals All proposals must be submitted online via the APA Call for Convention Proposals website, which will guide you through the submission process for your individual and/or symposium/other proposals. The APA Call for Convention Proposals website is integrated with MyAPAs single sign-on. For all proposals, a MyAPA login account and password are required. On-screen instructions will guide you through logging in using your existing MyAPA account, looking up your account and/or password, or creating an account if necessary. Your MyAPA login account will allow you to begin a proposal, save your work as you complete each screen of data, and optionally return later to fnish the sub- mission process. The save and return feature is particularly helpful. When a proposal has been submitted success- fully, you will see a screen acknowledging your submission with a proposal ID. Please print that screen and save the proposal ID for future ref- erence. If you do not receive a proposal ID at the end of your submission, please retry. Only Internet Explorer 7.0+, Firefox 3.0+, Safari 3.0+, and Chrome 12.0+ are supported. III. NEW Collaborative Program Submission Process (Deadline Nov. 1) This year APA is implementing a new, exciting addition to the convention to develop cross-cutting themes and enhance integrative collaborative pro- gramming across divisions. The overarching goal is to highlight the unique role of APA as a unifying force in psychology. Only 1- or 2-hour proposals (see Section IV under Types of Submissions) that highlight col- laborative ideas and integrative approaches will be considered. Individual presentations (paper/poster) will not be considered. At least two participants must be included. Innovative formats are encouraged. Programs integrating psychological science and practice are encouraged. Submitters will need to identify two or three divisions that are relevant to the proposal con- tent. These divisions and a central programming group will evaluate the proposals. The deadline is November 1, 2013. Review criteria include: broad appeal, current and timely topic, originality and innovativeness, inter- active/creative format, scientifcally based, and attention to diversity. Table of Contents I.

Division Program Chairpersons/ Special Division Requirements 11 APA Call for Convention Proposals | Washington, DC | August 710, 2014 3 Special consideration will be given to proposals consistent with 2014 themes: (a) Psychology and the Public Good, (b) the Psychology of Violence, (c) Psychology and Technology, (d) Health Care Integration and Reform, (e) Mechanisms and Principles of Change, (f) Internationalizing Psychology, (g) Controversies and Difficult Dialogues in Psychology, and (h) Lifelong Training and Development of Psychologists. The Central Programming Group reserves the right to change titles of accepted proposals to enhance marketability. In the event that a proposal is not accepted for the new collaborative programming, it will be returned to the divisions in time for consideration under the division programming process. Note: Limited funds have been set aside and are available on a competitive basis to divisional collaborative proposals for high draw presenters. If such funds are requested, a budget and justification will be needed at the time the proposal is submitted. IV. Division Program Submission Process (Deadline Dec. 2) Types of Submissions Symposia: A symposium is a focused session in which multiple participants present their views about a common theme, issue, or question. The views may or may not be adversarial and may or may not be supported by brief mention of relevant data. The format of a symposium usually consists of an introduction to the topic by the chairperson to provide the audience with a back- ground for the ensuing discussion. Participants then present their viewpoints, followed by interchange among participants and between the audience and participants. Often the symposium will end with an overview of the proceedings by the chairperson or a discussant. Most important, a symposium is not a paper-reading session. Participants should prepare presentations in advance so that the chairperson or discussant can prepare a coherent summary. Participants are encouraged to speak from notes; reading papers detracts from the spirit of the sympo- sium. The chair or discussant should not give a separate presentation. Their role is to integrate, interpret, and highlight the essential issues raised by participants. Skill-Building Sessions: A skill-building session is a program based on teaching direct skills and application of theory to participants. Skill-building sessions combine theoretical and experiential approaches. Leaders typically offer practical experience to help participants increase their understanding and skills in a par- ticular area of current interest in psychology. Conversation Hours: A conversation hour is an opportunity for informal discussion and exchange of ideas between the audience and usually one or two presenters. Presenters are chosen for their expertise in a particular area of current interest to members. The audience can ask questions and discuss relevant issues in more detail than is usual in other types of sessions. Posters: APA especially encourages poster submissions so that research findings, new ideas, innovations, and advances in the profession may be shared with as many individuals as possible. Poster sessions allow presenters and attendees to engage in extended discussions regarding the authors presentation that is in illustrated format on a poster board. Poster boards are 8 high with a surface of 4 x 6 and are placed in rows in a large hall. Presenters are asked to be at their assigned poster board during the entire length of the poster session. If your submission is accepted for presentation in a poster session, you will be directed to online instructions to assist you in preparing your materials in the required format. Papers: Papers submitted to a division will be grouped together by the division program chair- person within paper sessions scheduled for either 50 minutes or 1 hour 50 minutes. Paper presenta- tions will be allotted a minimum of 10 minutes for oral presentation. This format may provide only limited opportunity for fully presenting ones work and for interacting with attendees. Time allotments for presentations shall be determined by the divisions program chairperson.

Additional Instructions for All Programs Any one individual may submit a total of two proposals for the convention. Limit titles to 90 characters including spaces, or 10 words or fewer. Time limits: 50 minutes or 1 hour 50 minutes. Indicate any accommodations for a physical dis- ability that would facilitate your participation (e.g., ramp to head table, hand-held microphone, fexible microphone, table microphone, lavalier [clip-on] microphone) or scheduling limitations due to reli- gious constraints. Reduce bias in language. All oral and written presentations should use unbiased language that avoids stereotypes, labeling, and pejorative comments. Presenters are encouraged to acknowl- edge diversity and use appropriate descriptions, including those for gender, sexual orientation, racial and ethnic identity, disabilities, and age. Participants are strongly reminded that the highest standard of courteous and respectful behavior is expected for both written and oral presentations, especially when sensitive and controversial topics may require balanced and varied perspectives and opinions of the presenters and the audience. Specifc suggestions for using unbiased language are on pages 7077 of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.). Cosponsorship. When a presenter thinks that a proposal is appropriate for cosponsorship by several divisions, the proposal should be sent to a primary division with a list of appropriate divi- sions for possible cosponsorship. If the proposal is accepted, the program chairperson will make the necessary arrangements for cosponsorship. V. Continuing Education Sessions The APA Ofce of Continuing Education in Psychology sponsors CE credit for selected ses- sions ofered by APA divisions and governance groups at the convention. Our goals are to: Provide APA members the opportunity to earn CE credit for selected sessions. Work with APA divisions and governance groups to promote high-quality educational programming. Highlight some of the outstanding programming offered at the APA convention. Note: CE sessions are different from CE workshops; see pp. 78 for information on CE workshop proposals. APA Call for Convention Proposals | Washington, DC | August 710, 2014 5 What Is the Submission Process? In the Call for Convention Proposals submission form, you will have an option to select whether you would like your session submitted for CE review (Question 12). If you select yes, please review the APA Standards and Criteria (www.apa.org/ed/ sponsor/about/standards/manual.pdf) to make sure your session meets the definition for CE in psychology. Provide no more than two learning objectives. Instructions for writing learning objectives are provided in the submission form. If your session is accepted by the division to which you submitted a proposal, it will be the deci- sion of the division program chair to submit the session for CE review to the APA CE Office. The CE Office will review each session. Decisions are made by mid-March each year. If your session is approved to offer CE credits, you will be notified by the division program chair. Note: The number of sessions that will offer CE credit may be limited due to cost, space considerations, and schedul- ing of sessions; therefore, not all sessions submitted for CE credit will offer CE credit. Which Sessions Are Eligible to Offer CE Credit? Eligible for CE Review Discussions Fellows addresses Invited addresses Presidential addresses Skill-building sessions Symposia NOT Eligible for CE Review Business meetings Committee meetings Conversation hours Executive committee meetings Film programs Paper or poster sessions Roundtable discussions Social hours VI. Rules for Participation Who May Submit to a Program: Any APA member may submit a proposed program or pre- sentation for consideration. It is not necessary to be a member of the division to which a proposal is submitted. Psychologists who hold a PhD or PsyD (or equiv- alent) and who are members of a national psy- chology organization that holds membership in the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPS) are relieved of the requirement to fnd a sponsor for APA convention submissions. To have the sponsor requirement waived, please provide evidence of degree held and membership in a national psychology association that is a national member (or that is part of a coalition that consti- tutes the national member) of the IUPS. Nonmember Participation: Individuals who are not members of APA or an association listed with the IUPS may submit a proposal if an APA member is a coauthor of the presentation or sponsors the proposal. An invitation from a divi- sion program committee to submit a proposal constitutes the required sponsorship of non- member participants. Invitations to nonmembers of APA are issued at the discretion of the divisions and their program chairpersons. Ultimately, the divisions are responsi- ble for the nature and quality of their programs, and the only restrictions on programs are those that can be derived from the ethical principles of APA. The person who invites or sponsors a nonmem- ber to participate in the program is responsible for ensuring that these steps are followed: Clarify fnancial arrangements, if any, with the spon- soring division and the nonmember participant. Provide the nonmember participant with regis- tration and hotel information. All nonmember participants are required to register and pay the convention registration fee. To ensure the avail- ability of hotel rooms, this step must be done by May 1, 2014. Where protocol dictates, make arrangements for greeting the nonmember at the airport, escorting the individual to the session, and meeting col- leagues at a business meeting or social event. Some nonmembers (the president, vice president, frst lady, members of Congress, presidential appointees, high-ranking policy ofcials, etc.) require special arrangements that should be coor- dinated with APA. Persons considering such invi- tations must frst check with the APA Convention Ofce before making any inquiries on availability or issuing any invitations to these individuals. Eligibility of Chairpersons: All chairpersons of sessions must be APA members (members, fellows, or associates). Persons with an affiliate status, such as student, high school teacher, or international, may not serve as chairpersons. APA Call for Convention Proposals | Washington, DC | August 710, 2014 6 Number of Submissions Allowed: An individual may submit a maximum of two proposals to be considered for the convention. Multiple submis- sions that are redundant or substantively similar are not permitted. Each proposal must be submit- ted to only one division for consideration. Number of Participants Allowed: Individuals must limit themselves to two participations across all divisional programming. Participation refers to presenting a paper in a paper or poster session or serving as a presenter/panelist in a symposium/discussion/conversation hour that is listed in the formal program. Participants who violate this rule will be contacted by the APA Convention Office and asked to select only two. Exemptions From the Participation Count Are: Chairs who do not present, symposium discus- sants, nonpresenting coauthors, division business meetings, division presidential addresses, divi- sion invited addresses, division awards ceremo- nies, APA conventionwide programming (APA plenary or governance sessions, APA presidential programming, APA or APF invited addresses, APA CE workshop leaders), or other APA or divi- sional nonprogram functions. Disclosure of Conicts of Interest: All presenters are expected to disclose relationships that could reasonably be viewed as creating a confict of interest with respect to the content of their presen- tations. The general purpose of such disclosures is to allow the listener to make his or her own informed assessment of the presentation. Each presenter is ultimately responsible for determining whether he or she should disclose a given rela- tionship. Appropriate methods of disclosure will vary based on the type of presentation involved. To determine appropriate methods, presenters can discuss approaches for providing disclosure with session organizers, who may, in turn, consult with APA staf in relevant areas for assistance. Scheduling Presentations: Persons with accepted presentations or programs must participate at the time determined by APA. Persons with time constraints for religious reasons must include this information on the original submission form. Previous or Simultaneous Submissions: Except by invitation, a presentation previously pub- lished or read at any state, regional, or divisional meeting may not be presented at the convention unless it is a substantial elaboration (additional findings, etc.) of a preliminary report. A presenta- tion submitted to APA for consideration may not be submitted simultaneously for consideration at a regional, state, or divisional meeting. Ownership and Use of Submitted Materials and Presentations All rights, title, and interest in material submitted in connection with an approved program (sub- mitted material) will remain with the author(s). As a condition of the acceptance of the approved program, all author(s) agree to grant to APA a royalty-free, nonexclusive, worldwide perpetual license to use, reproduce, publicly display, distrib- ute, and prepare derivative works of the submitted material in any medium, including electronic, online, and/or print format.

This license shall also include electronic archiving in the APA PsycEXTRA database or another archive service utilized by the APA either now or in the future. Electronic Archiving Services APA is pleased to provide presenters at the 2014 convention with electronic archiving services for presentation abstracts and PowerPoint fles. Upon acceptance of a presentation or program, APA will provide presenters with a web page address where they can update/upload abstracts and PowerPoint fles through the conclusion of the 2014 convention. PsycEXTRA: All accepted material will auto- matically be uploaded into PsycEXTRA, APAs gray literature database that provides an archival record of presentations, unless the author(s) or a person authorized to submit on behalf of the author(s) decides not to permit electronic archiving by clicking the opt out of electronic archiving box during the online submission process. Inclusion in PsycEXTRA does not affect your rights to the submission. The collection of conference papers in this important database enables readers to trace the evolution of research. Media Coverage: To encourage higher quality programs and better media coverage, acceptance of a proposal assumes that presenters will prepare advance texts of their presentations or a summary consisting of at least five pages. All presentations and their specific findings should not appear in the media until after the time of presentation. Presenters are strongly encouraged to email their papers to the APA Public Affairs Office at public.affairs@apa.org by June 15. The top page should include your name, affiliation, address, business phone, email, and title of paper. Please add Presented at 122nd Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association at Washington, DC, August 2014 and note day and time of presentation. VII.
