TRAINING: APA announces Advanced Training Institutes for summer 2012

The American Psychological Association will sponsor four Advanced Training Institutes (ATIs) in the summer of 2012. These intensive training programs are hosted at major research institutions across the country. ATIs expose advanced graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, new and established faculty, and other researchers to state-of-the-art research methods and emerging technologies.

 

This year’s ATIs are listed below. Complete information about these programs can be viewed on the Advanced Training Institutes website.

 

·        Structural Equation Modeling in Longitudinal Research
University of California, Davis

May 29-June 2, 2012

Application Deadline: March 20

 

·        Exploratory Data Mining in Behavioral Research
University of California, Davis

June 4-8, 2012

Application Deadline: March 20

 

·        Research Methods with Diverse Racial & Ethnic Groups
Michigan State University

June 11-15, 2012

Application Deadline: March 27

 

·        Non-Linear Methods for Psychological Science
University of Cincinnati

June 18-22, 2012

Application Deadline: March 27

 

 

The content of each ATI has been updated to include the most current methods and approaches. For example, the 2012 institute on Non-Linear Methods will include expanded coverage of multifractals and distribution analyses.

 

The ATIs on Structural Equation Modeling and Exploratory Data Mining will be held at UC Davis on consecutive weeks. In order to help make it feasible for people to attend both of these ATIs, participants who are accepted and register for both sessions will receive a 20% discount on their tuition for each institute. 

 

Tuition for each ATI ranges from $300 to $1200, with students, post-docs, and APA members paying lower tuitions. Participants may also apply for financial assistance.

 

APA arranges for group rates at nearby lodgings and encourages all ATI participants to stay at the same location. Prices for accommodations have been negotiated at competitive group rates. 

 

The Science Directorate also maintains a list of training opportunities in science-oriented psychology that are offered outside of APA. This list is updated throughout the year and suggestions for additional programs to include are welcome by email.

 

Note that ATI application deadlines begin in March. Applications are available at the Advanced Training Institute website and must be submitted electronically through each institute’s webpage. For more information, contact ATI or (202) 336-6000.

INFO: Please join Division 20 for 2012!

Dear members of the APA Division 20 List-Serv,

As we start the new year, we are hoping to match or exceed our total membership from 2011!   If you have not renewed your membership, please consider doing so or joining as a new member!  As a long-time member of the Division myself, membership has allowed me to enjoy the multitude of professional benefits of Division 20 including job opportunities, faculty development, research training, and networking contacts that will help me throughout my career.

Please visit the APA Division 20 membership page (http://apadiv20.phhp.ufl.edu/join.htm) and fill out an application to join as a new member or a renewed member.  The membership page also provides a wealth detail of why membership in Division 20 is such a great professional opportunity.

 

In response to the need to create flexible membership options and encourage more robust participation in Division 20, we are excited to announce two new membership categories for new or current members:

1.  Professional affiliates are persons who, due to their proficiency in areas related to the mission of the Division, can contribute to the Division's objectives but do not hold membership in the American Psychological Association.

2.  International affiliates are also proficient in areas related to the mission of the Division and can contribute to the Division's objectives, but reside in a country outside of the United States.  International affiliates do not have to hold membership in the American Psychological Association to join Division 20.

Dues for both Professional and International Affiliates are the same as Divisional dues for full members (e.g., $44 per year), and confer many of the same benefits as Full Members, including subscriptions to Adult Development & Aging News as well as Psychology and Aging.  However, to reiterate: one does not have to join APA itself in order to be an Affiliate of Division 20!

To join as a Professional or International Affiliate, please go to http://memforms.apa.org/apa/cli/divapp/.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the email or numbers below.

If you are a member, you will note on the APA Division 20 membership page that we have designed new brochures.  If you would like some brochures to post in your office or share with colleagues, please let me know and I would be happy to mail you some.  Please spread the word and encourage your colleagues to join.

If you have any questions, or if there is anything I can do to help facilitate your membership in APA Division 20, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Sincerely,

Joe Gaugler
Membership Chair
APA Division 20

Subject: [DIVOFFICERS] Call for Nominations for Committee on Human Research (CHR) -- DEADLINE EXTENDED!

 

Call for Nominations for Committee on Human Research (CHR)

 

DEADLINE EXTENDED

 

The Committee on Human Research (CHR) is seeking nominations for two new members to serve three-year terms beginning January 1, 2013.

 

The mission of this seven-member Committee is to facilitate research with human participants that complies with prevailing ethical principles and governmental regulations, and examine issues regarding the formulation and implementation of such principles and regulations. The Committee’s purview encompasses such topics as confidentiality, decisional capacity, diversity of research populations, research dissemination, cross-disciplinary standards, international collaborations, and resource and data sharing. The committee also engages in educational and advocacy efforts in the realm of human research protections.

 

CHR is seeking nominees for the following areas:

 

(1) Applied research

 

(2) Community-based research

 

Nominees should be currently or recently engaged in research with human participants and have served on an institutional review board (IRB) or similar body. CHR is especially seeking nominations from researchers who work with children, and highly encourages early career psychologists to apply.

 

Self-nominations are welcome. Nomination materials should include:

 

(a) A statement of interest clearly indicating which of the two areas the nominee represents, and describing their expertise, experience, and interests in contemporary human research protection issues; and,

(b) A current curriculum vita.

 

Nominees selected by the APA Board of Scientific Affairs (BSA) to serve on the Committee will be required to attend two Committee meetings per year in Washington, DC, with expenses reimbursed by APA, and to participate in conference calls.

 

Nomination materials should be received by no later than February 15, 2012. Please submit nominations via e-mail to Jenna McGwin (jmcgwin@apa.org)

From: Division 20 Announcement list [mailto:DIV20ANN@LISTS.APA.ORG] On Behalf Of Cooke, Keith
Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2012 4:57 PM
To: DIV20ANN@LISTS.APA.ORG
Subject: [DIV20ANN] PsycCRITIQUES Blog

 

I am writing on behalf of Danny Wedding, PhD, Editor, PsycCRITIQUES. APA has developed a PsycCRITIQUES blog that makes it possible for interested psychologists around the world to read selected book and film reviews and comment on the issues raised in those reviews.  We think the following probe would interest those in Division 20.

        

       Can Relationships Between Adult Children and Their Parents Sometimes Be "Toxic"?

In their review of Poisonous Parenting: Toxic Relationships Between Parents and Their Adult Children, J. Douglas Pettinelli, Katie M. Heiden Rootes, and Christine Schneider note that clinicians often encounter adult children who are suffering from "toxic relationships" with their parents who, according to the book, can be classified as either pageant, dismissive, or contemptuous parents. The reviewers point out, however, that the parent–child relationship is not one-dimensional or linear, and more attention to family diversity issues is warranted due to the "unique impacts of gender, culture, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, and religion on multigenerational family dynamics."

Is the term "toxic relationships" or the parent typologies described in the book useful for research and/or clinical practice? If yes, how? If no, why not?

What are some examples of the unique impacts of culture, gender, religion, etc. on family dynamics? How might clinicians effectively use this information to help improve these troubled relationships?

        

You can review the blog and make comments at http://psyccritiquesblog.apa.org/  (click on the red comments button at the bottom of the probe).  We would especially welcome comments from members of Division 20.

 

You can also subscribe to all new blog posts via email and web-based news readers at http://feeds2.feedburner.com/PsycCRITIQUESBlog.

Appropriations Alert: Graduate Psychology Education Program (GPE) Receives Full Funding In Extremely Difficult Budget Climate, Campus Suicide Prevention Funding Maintained

Congress finalized action on the FY'12 appropriations by rolling together all remaining spending bills into a larger "megabus" vehicle.  The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2055, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 on December 16^th and the U.S. Senate passed the legislation the following day.  Overall, federal spending in the "megabus" legislation came in at $915 billion.   Within this package, there are a number of programs of great importance to psychology.

 

Graduate Psychology Education Program

We are delighted to announce that this appropriations bill included level funding of nearly $3 million for the Graduate Psychology Education Program (GPE). In an extremely difficult budget climate, the inclusion of this vital program represents an extraordinary feat for the psychology community. The overall budget for Health and Human Resources (HHS) was cut by nearly $700 million from fiscal year 2011. Moreover, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), which administers the GPE grant program, received a $41 million reduction in funding.  For context, funding for other HRSA programs under the Interdisciplinary Community Linkages (ICL) category were cut by over $7 million.  These include cuts to Area Health Education Centers, Allied Health and Other Disciplines (which no longer includes GPE) as well as Geriatric Programs.   Overall, Nursing Programs were cut by $10 million and Health Professions suffered a cut of $28.9 million. 

This great success for the Graduate Psychology Education Program (GPE) is due in large part to the psychologists and psychology students who made a record-breaking 358 hill visits on behalf of GPE this year. It is the efforts of our psychologist-advocates that make this tremendous victory possible.

 

Suicide Prevention on College Campuses

Congress affirmed the importance of addressing mental and behavioral health on college campuses by providing level funding for a small but important program that supports the prevention work of college counseling centers.  The Campus Suicide Prevention program, authorized by the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act, and administered by SAMHSA received $4.975 million.  In addition, for the second year, the program will receive another $10 million from the Prevention and Public Health Fund, thanks to the leadership of Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) who fought for those additional funds.  The Suicide Prevention Resource Center received $4.957 million.  Finally, the Youth Suicide Prevention Program for States and Tribes received $29.74 million.
