American Occupational Therapy Foundation (AOTF)
Call for Partnership Showcase
October 10-11, 2024
IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract Submission Site Opens – March 15, 2024
Abstract Submission Site Closes – July 12, 2024 11:59:59 PM EDT
PRESENTATION STYLE: PARTNERSHIP SHOWCASE
The Partnership Showcase sessions are designed to allow community-engaged research teams to highlight the processes, innovations, and creative collaborations that they have developed and/or implemented in their research. Focused areas may include such topics as approaches to outreach, needs assessment, implementation, dissemination, and/or community programming. Partnership Showcase presenters will also have the opportunity to engage with audience members through collaborative and collegial discussion. We have designed these sessions to help community-engaged research teams showcase their collaborative processes, rather than present scientific findings.
Partnership teams will have 12 minutes to showcase their partnership with time for feedback and discussion with other summit attendees. Partnership showcases are available to any community engaged collaborative teams across the research trajectory. Partnership Showcase proposals that are not well fit to the Partnership Showcase design will be considered for poster presentations.
Partnership Showcases will be presented in breakout sessions (presentation/discussion). During the sessions, Partnership Teams may choose to share a Powerpoint or other audiovisual materials to highlight elements of their collaborative process (Please check with the AOTF Staff prior to the Engage Summit to ensure that your presentation format is supported at the conference venue). At least one academic and one community collaboration is expected to present, although we recognize that many proposals and partnerships are developed and sustained by teams. Presentations submitted by academic partners alone will not be considered.
