Proposals for the conference are selected through a blind peer review process. If your proposal is accepted, you are committed to present the session at the conference.

Both 45 and 90 minute time slots are available. It is possible, after the proposals are reviewed, that the conterende committee will require a number of 90 minute proposal presenters to convert their sessions to 45 minutes, or a poster. At that point, you will be asked to kindly prepare according to the session format you have been assigned.

The following are the five primary evaluation criteria used in the review of proposals:

1. clarity and coherence of the session description and plan;
2. relevance to the interest of the Lilly-East conference participants;
3. contributions to new or innovative practices for student and faculty development;
4. likelihood that the session will stimulate active engagement of participants.

It is probable that each individual will be limited to one presentation on the conference program, because of the large number of proposals anticipated and the time and space limitations of the conference. However, prospective presenters are welcome to submit more than one proposal. When all presentation slots have been filled, a proposal may still be accepted for a poster session.
