Call for Proposals
CCTE invites submissions of research and practice proposals for future conferences. A Call for Proposals will accompany the announcement of each CCTE semi-annual conference. Watch for those announcements here on the website and respond to the relevant call.
Sample Proposals
- Sample policy analysis proposal that was selected for a 60-minute concurrent session
- Sample practice proposal that was selected for a 30-minute concurrent session
- Sample research proposal that was selected for a 30-minute concurrent session
There are also usually templates for different types of proposals on the Call for Proposals.
