Deadline for postgraduate course and scientific session submissions to be submitted to the APSS Program Committee

The APSS Program Committee is soliciting proposals for the following sessions at SLEEP 2011: postgraduate courses, symposia, discussion groups and clinical workshops. Prior to submitting your session proposal to the APSS Program Committee, section members are encouraged to submit their proposals to the AASM Membership Section Steering Committee for a complimentary review. The Membership Section Steering Committees will provide feedback and will select session proposals they would like to recommend to the APSS Program Committee.

The proposals will be reviewed by the Steering Committee of one of the following Membership Sections: Childhood Sleep Disorders and Development, Circadian Rhythms, Insomnia, Movement Disorders, Narcolepsy, Parasomnias, Sleep Deprivation or Sleep Related Breathing Disorders.

To have your session proposal reviewed, please e-mail it to William Wallis, wwallis@aasm.org by Monday, November 1, 2010. In order to be eligible for the review, all proposals should follow this template: https://www.aasm.org/resources/doc/SessionProposalTemplate.doc

Although you are encouraged to submit your session proposals to the Membership Section Steering Committees, as it may strengthen your proposal, it is not required. You may submit proposals directly to the APSS Program Committee. Submission of your proposal to the Membership Section Steering Committees in no way guarantees that your session will be accepted by the APSS Program Committee. All session proposals regardless of whether or not they are reviewed by the Membership Section Steering Committees must be submitted to the APSS Program Committee via the online submission system at www.sleepmeeting.org. The deadline to submit a session to the APSS Program Committee is December 1, 2010.
