The LGBT Caucus of Public Health Workers is soliciting abstracts for the 135th APHA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC November 3-7, 2007. Submissions are encouraged for work with a focus on LGBT health and the conference theme, "Politics, Policy and Public Health" as well as other topics relevant to LGBT health. The following list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive; rather, it will suggest some of the myriad issues of interest to the Caucus:
The Caucus is very interested in student participation, and has established the Walter Lear, MD Outstanding Student Research Award to recognize exceptional work by students on LGBT-related issues. The award consists of a stipend, as well as free caucus membership. We invite students to submit proposals for consideration at all levels of presentation (poster, oral, or roundtable). Please indicate student status when submitting. A discussion session by several (no more than five) speakers on a general topic may be coordinated by a single applicant. The coordinator must submit an abstract for the discussion session, following the guidelines listed on the APHA web site. Each speaker for the discussion session must also submit an abstract on his or her individual topic, following the APHA web site's guidelines. All abstracts submitted to the caucus will be reviewed via a peer-based blind review process. Reviews will not be forwarded to submitters. ABSTRACTS FOR THIS CAUCUS MUST BE SUBMITTED ONLINE THROUGH THE APHA WEB SITE NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 5, 2007. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS YEAR DEADLINE DATES DIFFER AMONG EACH SECTION, SPIG OR CAUCUS IN WHICH YOU ARE SUBMITTING AN ABSTRACT. If you have questions, please contact: |
