Proposal Topics:
ISBD would like to showcase the amazing work that our members do year-round outside of the Conference. ISBD will give special consideration to submissions that represent collaborations between ISBD Chapters, Task Forces, or members of the Early Mid-Career Committee (EMCC).
The International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD) continues to strive to present a plurality of perspectives, particularly in the following domains:
Gender:
The Society will consider gender balance when assessing submissions for the 25th Annual Conference in Chicago. We strongly encourage women to submit proposals and urge all colleagues to consider gender diversity when assembling submissions for ISBD 2023
Early Career Members:
In order to support those at an early stage of career development, submissions that include or are led by junior colleagues are especially encouraged.
Innovation:
Symposia fostering transdisciplinary and novel approaches especially from outside the traditional mold will be favored. Similarly, presenters from outside the core discipline are encouraged.
Geography:
ISBD has over 26 chapters from all over the globe. Proposals that include individuals from multiple ISBD chapters/geographic areas are best positioned to represent our broad constituency.
The quality of the submitted proposal will be the primary factor considered in the scientific review process, however, inclusion as chairs and presenters of women, early career professionals, and participants from diverse geographic regions will enhance the desirability of proposals for the program.
