This year LPA will again be accepting proposals for posters from two different categories, original data collection and evidence-based practice. All proposals should exhibit a focus on empirical research and/or clinical study. Proposals must be submitted online. A 200-300 word abstract of each poster presentation is required. The abstract should be prepared according to APA publication guidelines. See “categories” below for additional detail on required submission elements. The deadline for proposals is March 7, 2022. Decisions will be communicated by March 25, 2022.
