We welcome all life sciences education researchers from elementary to graduate levels, in formal and informal settings.

Call for Proposals: 15th Annual Biology Education Research Symposium 

2023 NABT Professional Development Conference 
When: November 3, 2023       
Where: Baltimore Marriott Waterfront, Baltimore, Maryland

The proposal submission deadline is 11:59 PT on Friday, July 14, 2023.

You are invited to submit a proposal to present your research in biology education at the 2023 Professional Development Conference. This is a refereed session. All papers will go through double-blind review using the Reviewer Rubric. Reviews will be guided by the following criteria:

• Subject/Problem: Is there a clear focus, rationale, model, theory, or philosophy upon which the proposal is based?
• Design or Procedure: Are the methodology, procedure, design, and organization appropriate?
• Analyses and Findings: Do the syntheses of ideas or data analyses and findings appear to be appropriate and complete? Do the conclusions drawn follow from the data?
• Contribution: Do the conclusions contribute valuable insights into the teaching/learning of biology?
• General Interest: Does the presentation promise to be of general interest to NABT members?

The format of the symposium will be a traditional presentation of papers by individuals or co-authors lasting 15 minutes each (with five minutes for Q&A).

The proposal submission deadline is 11:59 PT on Friday, July 14, 2023.

Submission review will take place in July and early August, with final selection made by mid-August. All presenters are required to register for the NABT conference, and accommodations will be made to allow for the early discounted registration rate. Minor corrections to submissions can be made after acceptance.

All presenters must provide an electronic manuscript for distribution through the Proceedings (see below for past years). Minor corrections to submissions can be made after acceptance.
