Proposals can be submitted at any time from May 28 until midnight June 23, 2014. Log on to the AOTA website at www.aota.org and click on “Call for Papers.” Complete instructions are available online. You must choose whether your proposal is either a general submission or a research-related submission. General submissions can focus on practice, administrative, professional issues, and academia topics. Research-related submissions can address assessment/measurement and intervention, translational, and health services research. Elements required for a proposal and the criteria for scoring are different for each type of submission. Peer reviewers with earned research doctorates review all research-related submissions. For each proposal submitted, you will be asked to choose from one of the following session types: Institute (full day), Workshop (3 hours), Short Course (90 minutes), Research Platform (90 minutes or 60 minutes), Research Paper (30 minutes), Tech Day lab session, or a Poster Session. You will also be prompted to identify a primary and secondary content focus, selecting from a menu of options reflecting an array of subject matter and categories. These content focus selections are used to categorize sessions in the Conference program and to assist the proposal reviewers in selecting topics relating to their expertise. Please make your selections carefully. Proposals will be peer reviewed from July 17 to August 14, 2014 and final selections will be made in early fall. This peer review is based solely on the content and quality of the written proposal (i.e., the title, content focus, learning objectives, abstract and synopsis, references, and completeness of the submission). Neither names nor affiliations are provided to the reviewers. All submissions are given equal opportunity, and names of both submitters and reviewers remain anonymous. Written notification of proposal acceptance or non-acceptance will be sent in early October 2014.
