for Community Research and Action
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING PROGRAM SUBMISSIONS
Deadline for receipt of program proposals:
November 30, 2006
CALL FOR PROPOSALS DEADLINE
EXTENDED TO DEC 31st!!
Program Formats
Poster Presentations should emphasize substantive
research results. Posters will be organized in thematic groups.
Symposia provide a forum for discussion, debate,
and explication of diverse perspectives as they pertain to significant
issues in the field. Symposia may be used to integrate substantive
research, but should allow significant time for discussion and
audience participation. A symposium should be composed of no
fewer than three separate presentations. A discussant may be
included as one of the three but is not required.
Roundtable Discussions provide an alternative
forum for discussion and debate of a specific issue. This format
is especially appropriate for sessions in which the presenter's
role is to facilitate the audience’s exploration of the
issue. A roundtable discussion may be led by one or more facilitators.
Town Meetings feature discussion of critical
issues pertaining to community research and action. This format
is most appropriate for exploring the broad issues that cut
across various topics in the field. A town meeting may be led
by one or more facilitators.
Professional Development Workshops provide
a means to teach new skills of relevance to the field. A workshop
may be taught by one or more instructors.
Innovative Sessions may incorporate the arts,
technology, literature, athletics, politics, leisure, religion,
etc., to address issues of relevance to community research and
action in an innovative and exciting way. They may include simulations,
experiential sessions, or activities that promote interaction
and exchange.
Guidelines for Completing Program Proposals
Abstracts should be submitted through the Conference
Reviewing System (CRS). Please attend to each of the step
by step instructions provided in the CRS system to ensure that
your submission is accurate.
Supported browsers in the CRS system are
Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari.
First, register as a "new user"
on the
CRS system to create a new and unique user name and
access password. Then, login to begin the submission
process. We suggest that you prepare the submission before
logging on and that you allow at least 30 minutes to complete
the proposal online; you may edit or add to your proposal at
any time up until the due date of November 30th. For questions
regarding submitting proposals via the CRS system, contact info@scra27.org.
For technical assistance with the submission system, contact
crstechsupport@conferencereview.com.
The following information must be provided in the
CRS system:
STEP 1 - Select the SCRA 2007 Biennial as the conference

refers to the number of people presenting in your presentation.
List all the presenters here and list the chair or main contact

STEP 7 - Select "Enter Answers" to answer
3 questions about your submission then select "submit"
*If you are submitting a proposal for a symposium,
it is strongly recommended that one person serve as the primary
contact person who will enter one proposal that includes all the
overviews (e.g., symposium and individual presentations) and provide
up to date contact information and accurate email addresses for
all the presentations’ authors. The primary contact person
will be notified by e-mail that the proposal was received.
One individual should not submit more than two presentations as
a primary author and no more than four presentations (including
roles as moderator, discussant, or co-author) altogether.
If submitting a proposal by using this on-line system presents
a serious hardship, contact the
program
chair no later than December 15th.
All proposals will be reviewed by at least two members of the
program committee who will be blind as to the authors' identity.
Authors will be notified by e-mail or regular mail by the end
of February 2007 regarding whether submissions were accepted and,
if so, where in the program their submission has been placed.
