Thank you for your interest in submitting a presentation proposal for the 2013 EERS conference. All the proposals submitted to EERS will undergo a blinded peer review process; each proposal is reviewed and independently rated by three reviewers with expertise in the areas of the submission. The SUBMISSION DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO DECEMBER 16th, 2012. You will be notified in late January or early February 2013 of the status of your submission. If the same individual submits multiple proposals, only one proposal, if accepted, will be selected for presentation at the conference. This is to ensure the maximum level of participation from the evaluation community. To submit a proposal, select the type from the list below. On the following pages, you will be asked to submit the necessary information by either typing it into the fields directly, or by cutting and pasting from a word processing program. For all types of presentations, it is important to address the conference theme in your proposal - Use it or Lose It: Making the Most of Evaluation Findings. Once you submit the information, you will see a screen indicating that you have successfully submitted a proposal, and issuing a submission ID number. We recommend that you write this number down for future reference.

• Individual Presentations of approximately 20 minutes that will be grouped with related individual presentations into 90 minute concurrent sessions.
