PROPOSAL GUIDELINES

Acceptance Notifications
In mid-November, you will receive an acceptance or rejection e-mail for each proposal you submitted. If your proposal is not immediately accepted for a panel, you may be contacted at a later date to present if spaces become available on the program. You will receive additional detailed information regarding your panel session from the panel chair.

If their paper or panel presentation is accepted, individuals will be required to formally indicate their willingness to participate in the Virtual Research Meeting.

APSA reserves the right to select or remove panels and participants, and to change the date, time, and format of a panel or presentation at its sole discretion.
