Submission Procedures
All proposals must be submitted via the APA online Call for Programs. This website will guide you through the submission process for your individual and/or symposium/other proposals. Only Internet Explorer 7.0+, Firefox 3.0+, Safari 3.0+, and Chrome 12.0+ are supported. The APA Call for Programs website is integrated with MyAPA’s 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 finish the submission process. You can also complete your entire submission in one sitting; it’s your choice. The “Save and return” feature is particularly helpful for lengthy symposia/other proposals and for less-than-stable Internet connections.
When a proposal has been submitted successfully, you will see a screen acknowledging your submission with a proposal ID. Please print that screen and save the proposal ID for future reference. Your submission is not completed until you see the confirmation screen and proposal ID. Internet forces beyond our control can adversely affect the submission process, so if you do not receive a proposal ID at the end of your submission, please retry.
