CALL FOR ABSTRACTS:
Society for Research in Psychopathology
2010 Call for Abstracts
The next annual meeting of the Society for Research in Psychopathology
will be held in Seattle, Washington from Thursday October 7, 2010 through
Sunday, October 10, 2010.
The meeting will take place at the Seattle Marriott Waterfront, 2100
Alaskan Way, Seattle, WA, 98121, 206-443-5000. The local host is Dr.
Ted Beauchaine
The Program Committee looks forward to receiving submissions for
presentations on a wide range of psychopathology. Submissions may
include symposia, panel discussions, individual talks, or posters
reporting on completed studies or works in progress. Abstracts will
once again be accepted by web this year.
The web submission portal is: http://www.psychopathology.org/abstracts.cgi
The deadline for receipt of abstracts is Friday, June 4th, 2010.
Notification of decisions regarding abstracts can be expected by mid-
July.
Presentation Formats
Several formats are available for submissions. These include posters,
symposia, panel discussions, and paper sessions. Time for oral
presentations will be devoted to symposia, panel discussions, and
individual paper sessions. Because submissions must come from full
members of SRP or be sponsored by a full member of the Society, it is
important to be current on 2009-2010 SRP dues. Please note that full
members may sponsor submissions of students or non-member colleagues
even if they are not a co-author on the submission. The Program
Committee will make a final selection of oral presentations based on
the quality and the balance of content in the overall conference
program. Priority may be given to presenters who have not spoken
recently. Submissions not accepted for oral presentation will be
considered for presentation as individual posters unless the authors
stipulate otherwise. The first author is expected to give the oral
presentation or be available at the poster. Only SRP full members are
eligible to submit oral presentations.
Symposia/panel discussions are proposed by a chairperson who is an SRP
full member. They are typically 90 minutes in length and include
presentations from several speakers on a related topic. These talks
are generally followed by integrative comments from the chairperson or
discussant, with time for audience discussion at the end. Symposia
participants may be nonmember faculty, but not students. In planning
a symposium it is important to allow sufficient time for audience
questions and discussion. The Program Committee also welcomes
submissions of proposals using other formats, such as multiple brief
presentations that allow extra time for discussion between presenters
and audience members.
Papers. Submissions accepted for oral presentations will be organized
by the Program Committee into sessions that generally include three to
five papers (15 minutes per paper) and time for discussion.
Posters. A poster submitted by a non-member or an associate member
must be sponsored by a full member. Submissions for poster-only may
include presentations of works in progress (e.g., studies for which
data collection is well under way, but for which full results are not
yet available).
Students submitting posters may request that up to 3 SRP members
attend their poster and discuss their work with them. These requests
will be forwarded to the SRP members indicated and honored when
possible.
The Smadar Levin Award was created to honor the memory of Smadar
Levin, who left a lasting mark on psychopathology research before her
untimely death. The award is given for the most outstanding submission
from a graduate student. To be eligible, students must have completed
research in psychopathology and be sponsored by a full member. In
addition, potential candidates must currently be enrolled in graduate
school or must have received a doctoral degree less than one year
before the conference.
Students should indicate that they intend to submit their poster for
consideration for the Smadar Levin award at the time of abstract
submission. This is accomplished by checking the correct box during
the web-based submission process. Subsequently, these students will
be contacted by email with instructions regarding how to submit a
complete description of the research by August 15, 2010. This
supplemental description (maximum of 1000 words, plus tables, figures,
and references) must include introduction/hypotheses, methods,
analysis of the results and discussion; in other words, the supplement
must report on a completed project. Judges will make initial
decisions about the award on the basis of the supplements, so it is
expected that the presented poster materials will be different in form
and format, but otherwise essentially a subset of the supplement
material (e.g., some method details may be omitted, material will be
bulleted rather than in sentences, etc.).
Posters of graduate students being considered for the Smadar Levin
Award are presented on Thursday, the first evening of the meeting.
Graduate students submitting for this award must attend this poster
session and be available to discuss their work with the Award
Committee and other members. In evaluating the submission, the Award
Committee will consider the supplement, the poster, and the discussion
with the applicant. Students with winning and honorable-mention
submissions will be guests of SRP at the banquet on Saturday evening,
at which time the results will be announced. At the next SRP meeting,
the Smadar Levin Award winner will receive complimentary hotel
accommodations, registration, and banquet ticket. Honorable mention
winners will receive complimentary registration at the next meeting.
Number of Submissions per Member. There is no limit to the number of
submissions on which a full member may be an author. However, anyone
(i.e., full member, associate member or non-member sponsored by a full
member) submitting an abstract may be first author on only one
presentation (poster or oral presentation). Full members may sponsor
submissions of students or non-member colleagues even if they are not
a co-author on the submission.
Responsibilities of Sponsoring Members. Members who submit and those
who sponsor abstracts make a commitment to attend the meeting if the
presentation is accepted. The sponsoring member accepts responsibility
to ensure that all authors endorse the submission and are aware of its
contents.
Submission Withdrawals. If it is necessary to withdraw a submission,
please notify the Program Chair as soon as possible.
Submission Format. Submissions will be accepted by web. Those who are
unable to access the web can contact the Program Chair for alternative
submission instructions. Detailed instructions are available on the
web page
http://www.psychopathology.org/abstracts.cgi
In general, each individual abstract should not exceed 200 words. For
symposia/panel discussions, the chairperson should include an abstract
for the symposium/panel discussion as a whole (200 words) as well as
individual abstracts for each presentation (each 200 words). The
overall abstract should include an overview of the content as well as
information about how discussion will be incorporated into the
presentation. For symposia/panel discussions/paper submissions, you
will be required to indicate the audio-visual needs for your
presentation (LCD projector, Slide projector, or Overhead projector).
We anticipate that PowerPoint presentations via an LCD projector will
be the norm and that other projectors will be requested only if
necessary. Abstract submissions will be listed and archived online.
