Call for Proposals Portal Now Open
We are excited to announce that the Call for Proposals for the 2026 NCME Annual Meeting is now available!
The theme for the 2026 NCME Annual Meeting is Moving Measurement Forward and it emphasizes exploring innovative approaches that advance the science and practice of measurement. We encourage submissions that challenge traditional paradigms, highlight inclusive and equitable assessment practices, and demonstrate how measurement can better inform teaching, learning, and decision-making in a rapidly changing world. For the 2026 Annual Meeting, we encourage submissions aligned with this mission goal, but we note that alignment is not required for acceptance.
The Call includes directions for each of seven types of submission proposals. Please see the Call for details about each session type.
You may now submit proposals through the portal (or volunteer to be a reviewer, chair, or discussant)! Proposals will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. PDT on Friday, September 12, 2025. We have extended the submission window relative to past years to allow everyone sufficient time to complete their proposals. In planning your submission, please do not expect an extension to the deadline.
Important Note: The login for this submission system, X-CD, is different than the login information for www.ncme.org. You may have created an X-CD account previously. If so, you can find your information by selecting "Find My Account." Otherwise please create a new profile.
