Proposal Topics
The quality of the submitted proposal will be the primary factor considered in the scientific review process; however, the ISBD continues to strive to present a plurality of perspectives, and we strongly encourage proposals from women, early career professionals, and participants from diverse geographic regions. We also urge all colleagues to consider inclusion of these groups, as well as those with lived experience of bipolar disorder, as chairs and presenters when assembling submissions as this will enhance the desirability of proposals for the 2025 program.
Likewise, innovation is highly valued in the program and symposia fostering transdisciplinary and novel approaches, especially from outside the traditional mold, will be favored. Similarly, presenters from outside the core discipline are encouraged.
ISBD is keen to receive submissions that represent collaborations between ISBD Chapters, Task Forces, or members of the Early Mid-Career Committee (EMCC). 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.
