Are you considering submitting a paper to the Population Association of America (PAA) meetings? Believe it or not, there are some tricks of the trade in preparing a submission and increasing your chance of acceptance! The PAA deadline for abstract submissions is September 25 and the call for papers is here.  To help you get ready, on September 1st, CSDE will hold a virtual workshop about writing extended abstracts for PAA, led by CSDE Training Director Christine Leibbrand. Attendees will have the opportunity to have their extended abstract reviewed by a peer and a faculty member, as well as to review one of their peers’ manuscripts.

In this workshop, we will be discussing the Population Association of American (PAA) annual conference, how sessions are organized, and what qualities reviewers are looking for when assessing submissions, particularly extended abstracts. We will then discuss some tips for writing a good submission and choosing an appropriate session to submit to.

Requirements for participation: Participants will send their extended abstracts to their peer review partners on September 8th and they must review their partner’s extended abstract by September 15th. Please only sign up if you anticipate that you will be able to meet these deadlines. If you do not anticipate you will be able to do so but would like to watch the workshop, a Zoom link will be made available for those unable to attend.

To participate, please fill out the sign up form by Tuesday August 25th (Sign Up Form). Registration is limited to 15 participants.If you have questions please contact Christine Leibbrand at cleibb@uw.edu.
