APAGS Call for Proposals for the APA Convention

Steps for Submitting a Proposal

  1. Look for the APA Call for Proposals on APA listservs, social media channels, and the APA convention website.

  2. APAGS only accepts proposals for programs (symposia, conversation hours, and workshops) and posters (empirical, literature review, meta-analysis, theoretical, case study). APAGS does not accept paper sessions.

  3. Read the APAGS call for proposals information and the associated “Frequently Asked Questions,” and assemble your proposal accordingly.

  4. The 300 word abstract limit is strictly enforced. Please submit a reference list along with your abstract, which does not count against the word limit.

  5. All proposals must be submitted online through the APA convention website. Be sure to select “GS” as the division to which you are submitting. 

Membership

All graduate student affiliates of APA are automatically members of APAGS. Undergraduate student affiliates may choose to join APAGS by paying an additional membership fee on top of their APA dues. You can apply online.

Ethics

All research submitted to APAGS must comply with the APA Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct and must have already been approved by the author’s institutional review committee for research on human or animal subjects at the time of the submission.
