Call for Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

Call for Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

Submission Deadline: October 31, 2022

The Program Planning Committee of the Society for Prevention Research (SPR) is offering the opportunity to hold Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings at the 31st Annual Meeting.  We invite members to convene and chair a SIG. The purpose of the SIGs is to facilitate networking opportunities of conference attendees who would like to discuss in greater depth a specific prevention research, policy, or practice topic. The SIG convener(s) is expected to be in attendance, register for the conference, and facilitate the meeting, which will be open to all interested SPR conference attendees. The SIG can be formal with a planned agenda or informal depending upon the convener(s) and the participants.

To submit your SIG request, go to https://preventionresearch.org/2023-annual-meeting/. You will be asked to provide

  • Convener(s) name and full contact information.
  • Title of SIG
  • 150 – 250 word description

Conveners may request a repeat of a prior SIG (see list below) or request a new SIG. SPR will coordinate the meeting space and time.

The SIGs will be scheduled for Wednesday, May 31 or Thursday, June 1, 2023, from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm, which is during the lunch break (11:45 am – 1:15 pm). Participants would purchase a lunch in the hotel or from one of the lunch spots nearby the hotel and bring it with them to the meeting. Meeting space is limited. If the number of requests exceeds space limitations, the SPR Program Planning Committee will prioritize decisions based on representing a diversity of SIGs to best capture the interests of the membership. Confirmed SIGs will be listed in the conference program, which will indicate the date, time, convener(s), and meeting room assignment.
