Call for Abstracts - research & practice tracks
|
Our aim is to make the ALR conference the premier venue for both cutting-edge research and for making findings accessible to and useable by non-scientists. Thus, the 2013 conference will be organized into two tracks - research and practice.
ALR welcomes abstracts related to all populations and active living environments and policies in all settings. We encourage abstracts related to the conference theme and abstracts on research and practice that inform strategies for increasing physical activity among racial and ethnic minority youth and those living in lower-income communities who are at greatest risk for obesity.

Call for workshops
|
We seek high quality workshops for researchers (e.g. methods, statistics) and practitioners (e.g. use of measures, dissemination or translation of findings to inform policy and practice). These sessions must be interactive and have clear learning objectives. Workshops can be proposed for either 1.25 or 3-hour formats.

The Translating Research to Policy Award acknowledges innovative teams or individuals who have had success in catalyzing policy or environmental change related to youth physical activity, sedentary behavior and obesity prevention. In addition to a cash prize, the winner will be invited to present at the 2013 ALR Annual Conference and the case study will appear in the conference program.
