PAPOR welcomes submissions on the presentation of results from current survey, public opinion, and market research, and how these results shape public policy during unfavorable economic times. This includes submissions that focus on national and local efforts to stimulate the economy and reform health care.

As with in 2009, we will have a poster session at our annual conference. In addition to hosting academic presentations from students, PAPOR members are encouraged to put together informal poster presentations about what they are currently working on. The goal of this session is to provide a forum where members can share what they are passionate about and learn about the great work other members are doing. More information will be provided as the conference date approaches, but start thinking about what you would like to share.Sponsorship Opportunities
