NCAFCS 2026 Research Call

Greetings from the NCAFCS Research Committee,

Please consider presenting your research at the upcoming 2026 Annual Conference of the North Carolina Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, to be held at Shell Island Resort in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina on March 25-27, 2026. This is a great opportunity for educators and students to present research and creative works at our state-level conference, gaining valuable experience in oral and poster presentations. This year, all abstract submissions will be peer-reviewed, providing a high quality, rigorous review by experts across family and consumer sciences. We are open to all types of research, basic scientific, social science, and creative arts! Research happens in our classrooms, in the community, and in laboratories. We would love to have a diversity of thought and work at the conference, so please consider submitting your work for review! 

Full submission guidelines can be found at this link: https://www.ncafcs.org/s/NCAFCS-Call-for-Research-2026.pdf
