Update, August 30, 2021: The Late-Breaker Poster Session will be postponed until the 2022 conference. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The original announcement was as follows:

The Research and Theory (RT) Section is excited to announce that we will be hosting a late-breaker poster session during the 2021 conference RT Section meeting. This session will be reserved for high-quality research findings that were not available at the time of the general proposal submission deadline. Submissions are due on September 1 via email to Amy Rauer, RT Section Chair ([email protected]).

Submissions must include the following: (1) a title; (2) 2–3 keywords; (3) a 250-word proposal with an emphasis on methods and findings; (4) a 250-word statement of the proposal’s timeliness, including why the proposal was not submitted during the traditional NCFR submission period); and (5) author information (name, degree, affiliation, and email address).

Proposals will be rigorously peer-reviewed by RT Section members and a select number will be invited to present during the section meeting. We welcome submissions from all scholars regardless of section membership, as our goal is to ensure the timely dissemination of cutting-edge, family-based research. Please contact Amy Rauer if you have questions about whether your work is suited for submission to the late-breaker poster session.
