Collaborative Perspectives on Addiction Annual Meeting

Call for Papers

All proposals must be submitted via standard forms for either posters or symposia by the deadline (November 30th, 2026). Everyone may submit multiple proposals; however, you may present only one symposium session and one poster presentation as the first/sole author. In the event that multiple proposals within each category are received from the same first author, only one will be accepted. Symposium proposals will be given the option to be considered for a poster presentation should the symposium proposals be declined. You may select one of the following presentation formats:

• Symposium: Submission includes a 250-word summary abstract for all talks in the symposium. Submissions should also include 250-word abstracts for each individual presentation. The individual abstract should summarize the significance of the research questions, study design and sample characteristics, analytic strategies, key results, and conclusions.
  • Continuing Education (CE) credits are a large part of CPA and will be offered to all accepted symposia. We are using CE GO for continuing education credits this year. More information will follow.
• Poster: Submission includes a 250-word abstract summarizing the significance of the research questions, study design and sample characteristics, analytic strategies, key results, and conclusion.
• Late breaking poster: Poster submissions for late breaking research. Submission includes a 250-word abstract summarizing the significance of the research questions, study design and sample characteristics, analytic strategies, key results, and conclusion. In addition, we ask that individuals submit a brief statement regarding reason(s) for not making the priority deadline.

REVIEW PROCESS

Each proposal will be reviewed by at least 2 doctoral-level reviewers, based on the following criteria:

• Overall Quality/Importance: Justify that the study addresses significant research questions
• Innovation/Originality The degree to which the methods, sample, or framing yields novel knowledge in addiction psychology
• Approach/Methodology: Summarize rigorous and sound research methods

SELECTED OPPORTUNITIES FOR REGISTRATION WAIVERS AND TRAVEL AWARDS

To support early-career investigators and trainees, we are pleased to offer a limited number of travel awards to offset the cost of attending CPA2027. Specific award amounts will be determined at a later date based on available funding.

There are no separate applications for these awards. You must indicate your career status, and voluntary self-identified underrepresented minority status and financial needs. Awards will be selected based on masked peer-reviews of the proposal submissions. Final decisions will be made by the Program Co-Chairs and awards committee
