Proposals that are accepted typically offer a clear, compelling submission that aligns with four key priority areas:  \na. Relevance and Significance – Addresses content of importance to the field and the APBS primary audience; strongly aligns with the core features and applications of positive behavior support.  \nb. Conceptual and Empirical Strength – Demonstrates sound conceptual grounding and/or presents valid and reliable empirical data.  \nc. Clarity of Objectives and Fit for Format – Aligns with clearly stated objectives and appropriately matches the content with the session type and time allocation.  \nd. Alignment with APBS Mission and Commitment to Equity – Explicitly supports and reflects APBS’s mission and equity principles.  \nSuccessful proposals are well-organized, clearly written, and consistently address these criteria. Proposals that are not accepted typically fall into one or more of the following categories:  \na. The topic does not align with the APBS Mission and Commitment to Equity.  \nb. The topic is not relevant or significant for the field or APBS audience.  \nc. The content does not reflect the core features of positive behavior support.  \nd. The proposal lacks sufficient detail or clarity to achieve a high review score.  \nUsing the Guide  \nThis guide is divided into three sections:  \n1. Preparing and Submitting Your Proposal – A checklist of steps authors should follow during the proposal development process.  \n2. Proposal Scoring Criteria – A detailed explanation of how proposals are scored and how authors can align their content with review expectations.  \n3. Submission Process – Instructions for submitting proposals online through the conference portal, including details on submitting for BCBA and NASP continuing education credit consideration.  \nAuthor Guidelines  \nTo ensure a diverse range of presenters and topics, a limit is placed on the number of peer-reviewed proposals a lead author may submit:  \n• A lead author may submit up to two proposals.  \n• These may include one oral presentation (single, multi-presenter, or panel) and one poster presentation.  \n• A lead author may not lead two oral presentations or two poster presentations.  \n• A lead author may also serve as a co-presenter (not lead) on one additional proposal.  \nAPBS Mission and Commitment to Equity  \nIt is essential that your proposal explicitly aligns with the APBS mission and commitment to equity, as this is a critical component of the review process.  \nAPBS Mission Statement  \nThe mission of APBS is to enhance the quality of life of individuals across the lifespan by promoting evidence-based and effective positive behavior support (PBS) strategies to achieve socially valid and equitable outcomes for individuals, families, schools, agencies, and communities.  \nCommitment to Equity  \nAPBS is dedicated to equity, human rights, and social justice—especially for historically marginalized and oppressed communities, families, practitioners, and students. Through systems development and evidence-based strategies, APBS works to disrupt interpersonal and structural forms of discrimination and racism to foster equitable and meaningful outcomes for all.  \nSection 1. Preparing to Submit Your Proposal  \n1. Plan Ahead  \n• Submission Deadline: All proposals must be submitted by September 8, 2025, at midnight  \nU.S. Eastern Time. Plan your work timeline accordingly to meet this deadline.  \n• Select a Strand: Identify the strand that best aligns with the focus of your proposal. Below are the strands and their brief descriptions:  \no Early Childhood: Focuses on systems change, research, evidence-based practices, and case studies involving young children (birth to age 5) and the implementation of positive behavior support (PBS) .  \no Integ","cbCailbE4rWTp8TX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailbE4rWTp8TX","pdf",358879,12,"English","# Preparing and Submitting Your Proposal\n## Plan Ahead\n## Select a Strand\n## Choose Your Presentation Format and Event Option\n# Proposal Scoring Criteria\n## Scoring rubric alignment with four priority areas\n# Submission Process\n## Online submission via conference portal","[{\"question\":\"How are APBS conference proposals reviewed?\",\"answer\":\"APBS proposals are reviewed through a blind peer review process using a scoring rubric.
