For the first time, the 2023 CLD conference will include a session for presenters to share their work that is “in progress.” These roundtable sessions will allow researchers (at any level) to share studies that are underway and/or under development. This is meant as an opportunity to receive feedback in a supportive, interactive setting that can inform our ongoing work. Submissions for the “In Progress Research Roundtable” session are due by Friday, September 1, 2023. These sessions are designed to support the development of high quality research through collaboration and discussion. CLD Board members, presenters, and other experts in the field will be active participants to support discussion and provide substantive feedback. CLD invites qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, and single-case design research proposals. This session is being organized by the CLD Research Committee. Please contact the co-chairs, Jess Toste [jrtoste@austin.utexas.edu] and Nate Stevens [nsteve15@kent.edu], with any questions.

The proposal submission form for the 2023 CLD “In Progress Research Roundtable” can be accessed here: https://tinyurl.com/ResearchCLD2023. Proposals include presenter information, presentation title (12 words), abstract (50 words), and description of proposed research (300 words). The description should include a rationale for the proposed study, sample, preliminary description of the study design, and anticipated study outcomes. We will also ask you to identify the current stage of the research and the type of feedback you are hoping to receive.

We look forward to seeing you in Denver!
