ISDP and the DEI Committee are seeking investigators from historically marginalized and underrepresented communities to apply for our inaugural DEI Committee-sponsored symposium, with intention to present at the 2024 Annual Meeting (Chicago, IL, Oct. 2nd-4th). Early-career investigators (from graduate students to within seven years of earning a Ph.D., M.D., Psy.D., etc.) investigators are especially encouraged to apply.
Topics may vary broadly across the spectrum of developmental psychobiology and represent cellular, animal, and/or human models.
Symposia Themes:
- Perinatal health of Black pregnant individuals
- Caregiver brain health and racism/discrimination
- Caregiver mental health and racism/discrimination
- Bilingualism and cognition
- Intergenerational transmission of trauma
- Digital mental health in diverse communities
Please submit below a 250-word abstract by Wednesday, March 20th. Selected individuals will be notified by Monday, March 25th. Selection does not guarantee presentation at the annual meeting; we will submit the symposium application on Monday, April 1st. By submitting this application, you are confirming that you will be willing and able to present at the annual meeting in-person if the symposium is accepted.
