AEFP 37th Annual Conference

The Association for Education Finance and Policy (AEFP) encourages multidisciplinary research on salient education finance and policy issues and broad-based dialogue concerning policy, practice, and research. To bridge the gap between research and application and to broaden the focus of education finance and policy, the program planning committee invited researchers, policymakers, and practitioners interested in education finance and policy to assume a variety of roles including presenters, chairs, and discussants at the annual meeting.

AEFP members and prospective members are invited to submit proposals for the AEFP 37th Annual Conference on March 15-17 2012. Proposals may address any of a broad range of topics in education finance and policy. Individuals submitting proposals should be an AEFP member or planning to become a member prior to the annual meeting.

Proposals may be submitted for one of four presentation formats: an individual paper, a poster, a complete session comprised of three or four papers, or a complete session in an alternative format.

• Papers or Posters: Papers and posters are research investigations on an important topic for education finance or policy. Researchers present papers as part of a panel with two or three other papers and discussants. Completed papers are submitted through aefpweb.org one month prior to the conference. Researchers who present posters present them together during a time slot at the annual conference designated only for posters. AEFP will provide poster boards for poster presenters.
• Complete Session – Paper Format: This type of session is a pre-organized group of three or four papers on a shared and important topic for education finance or policy. These proposals require a session chair, 3 or 4 papers, and at least one discussant.
• Complete Session – Non-paper Format: This type of session is an integrated dialogue among three or more participants concerning a well-defined topic, sharing knowledge about new and important developments relevant to educational finance and policy. These proposals require a session chair and at least three panel members.

• Equipment: LCD projectors, screens, and poster boards (for poster sessions) of 32" x 40" black foam core board will be provided by AEFP. Any other equipment must be obtained by the participant at their own expense.
• Participation limits: To promote broad participation, an individual may not present as first author more than one paper at the annual meeting. Participants may be listed as co-authors of more than one accepted paper and may perform a variety of other roles at the conference (e.g., symposium or poster session participant, session chair and discussant), but will generally be limited to a single paper presentation. This limit does not include invited presentations.
• Notification of acceptances: The committee may not be able to accommodate all proposed papers, posters or symposia. As a result, some proposals may not be accepted for the conference and for other proposals the committee may ask for a format switch (e.g. from a paper to a poster or a poster to a paper).
