The 2019 conference proposal system is now open and accepting submissions. The deadline to submit is March 4, 2019, by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. Submit a proposal here.

NCFR members are sought to serve as proposal reviewers. A high number of proposals is expected, and to ensure a high-quality program, all proposals will be blind-reviewed. Serving as a proposal reviewer is a benefit of NCFR membership.

Access to the reviewer sign up form for NCFR members (You will be prompted to log in).

NCFR strongly values inclusiveness and diversity at all levels within the organization. Conference proposal reviewers from diverse and/or marginalized populations are essential to ensure high-quality proposal reviews and the selection of high-quality conference presentations that reflect the diversity of families around the globe.

The full details:

• Reviewers must be NCFR members.
• Faculty, researchers, doctoral students, and new professionals are welcome to volunteer.
• Reviews must be completed between March 14-31, 2019. 
• Reviewers will be asked to select your areas of expertise. The proposals will be assigned to match this area of expertise with the keywords that authors selected when they submitted their proposals. Reviewers should be sure to allow sufficient time to complete all reviews in this tight two-week window.
• NCFR will assign five proposals for each section reviewers sign up for (a maximum of two sections).
• Each proposal takes approximately 45 minutes (or a total of 3.5 to 4 hours for five proposals) to read through and score online.
• Assigned reviewers will be notified on March 14, 2019 by email from OxfordAbstracts.com (set them as a safe sender). At that time a file with explicit instructions for reviewing will be attached to the email.

The deadline to sign up as a reviewer is March 4, 11:59 pm PST. Thank you for your consideration!
