The Altshuler Center for Education and Research

We invite researchers of all backgrounds and levels of experience to submit an abstract. We strongly encourage proposals about ongoing research and studies in their initial stages, or discussion topics related to mental health research. We also welcome submissions about completed research and evaluation projects to promote dialogue as we confront a myriad of challenges ranging from providing holistic care, integrated health care, integrated health and mental/behavioral health, advances and innovations in mental/behavioral health treatment and practice, and mental health and wellness.

Posters offer an opportunity for sharing and discussing completed studies on a range of topics, methodologies, approaches, and challenges in MH research. Research posters are two-dimensional printed presentations most often created using Adobe InDesign or Illustrator, Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft PowerPoint, Canva, and similar applications. Posters may be up to 36 x 48 inches in size and displayed on portable bulletin boards for attendees to review at leisure throughout the symposium. Presenters will have a chance to pitch their posters and stand beside them to answer questions during a scheduled poster session. No A/V equipment or electricity is provided, but presenters may use their own laptops or tablets during the poster session.

Abstract proposals will be accepted from Monday, January 13, 2025, to Sunday, March 2nd, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. CST. Applicants can expect to receive notification by March 10-14, 2025. If your abstract proposal is accepted, registration should be completed by March 19^th.
