Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems (SHAAP) and the Scottish Alcohol Research Network (SARN) invite researchers to submit their research proposals for the 2025 SHAAP/SARN Alcohol Occasionals series.
We are interested to hear from researchers from any discipline who wish to share their research relating to alcohol. We welcome presentations from new and early career researchers and/or international researchers. Seminars take place online and offer researchers a great opportunity to showcase their work to a wide audience.
There will be four seminars in the series, all 12:45pm-2pm UK time. Please save the following dates:
- Monday 12th May 2025
- Monday 23rd June 2025
- Monday 1st September 2025
- Monday 6th October 2025
Proposal requirements:
- The proposal should be structured using the following headings: Background, Methods, Results, Conclusion
- Word limit: 300 words (excluding title)
- The proposal should demonstrate the relevance of the research to alcohol in Scotland
- Applicants should ensure all authors have approved the submission
- All proposals must include a completed conflict of interest form.
Please submit your proposal and conflict of interest form to [email protected] (please copy in [email protected]). Please also provide an indication of whether the research you intend to present has been published, or if there are plans to publish the research in the future. Finally, please include your availability for the proposed seminar dates (please see above).
With the presenter’s permission we will record and share each seminar recording, and we also write an event report to further disseminate research findings and discussion points from the seminar. Previous event reports can be found on SHAAP’s website: https://shaap.org.uk/downloads/alcohol-occasionals.html.
The deadline for proposal submissions is 5pm, Friday 31st January
Thank you for your interest and we look forward to reviewing your proposals.
