During its meetings this past weekend, the Committee on Aging (CONA) learned that APA has been invited to offer input to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) as it determines national priorities for comparative effectiveness research. The IOM has created a survey to collect information from APA members and other key stakeholders on their recommendations for research priorities. The survey tool for you to complete is available at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=TJWoo0PwELoAqyfwdN4zqQ_3d_3d The data collection will continue until March 27, 2009.
APA President James Bray provided comments at an IOM meeting last weekend on this topic focusing his remarks on behavioral and psychosocial intervention research, all intervention research including behavioral and psychosocial measures across the lifespan, and more. CONA is submitting comments as a committee and as individuals, and would like to encourage you to submit comments of your own especially those specific to aging research. The more the merrier!
Thanks, in advance, for your help! Debbie
