CONFERENCES: Div 20 APA conference information

APA 2009 Division 20 Program Blurb for Newsletter-June Version

Please join your Division 20 colleagues at the APA convention in Toronto, which will take place August 6-9th. In addition to the presidential address (Dr. Elizabeth Zelinski –Saturday August 8^th 3:00 to 3:50 pm) and the Baltes address (David Hultsch - Friday August 7^th 3:00 to 3:50 pm), four outstanding scientists will be giving invited addresses covering topics illustrating the breadth of interests within Division 20. We also have six symposia presentations, with one co-sponsored by Division 55 (American Society for the Advancement of Pharmacotherapy) and one co-sponsored by Division 21 (Applied Experimental and Engineering Psychology).

The Division 20 Social Event will take place on Friday August 7^th at a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game (7 pm). This will allow more interaction among Division 20 colleagues and graduate students than a traditional restaurant setting would permit—and it is more inexpensive than many Toronto restaurants. The cost is $20 (US) per ticket. To obtain this special rate, we need to purchase at least 50 tickets, and preferably over 100. Please send in your requests and checks by June 30, 2009 to Philip Allen, Department of Psychology, University of Akron, Akron, Ohio 44325-4301 (this covers the ticket price but not food such as hot dogs or soda). We hope to see you in Toronto on August 7^th at the game!

Helena Chui and Kevin Petway, Division 20’s graduate student representatives, have secured Dr. Michael Gilewski (a Division 20 fellow who practices in neuropsychological rehabilitation and who is also involved in multisite applied research) as the guest speaker for the Graduate Student Conversation Hour on Friday August 7^th from 5-5:50 pm

We hope to see you in Toronto in August! ---Phil Allen and Becky Allen (Division 20 Program co-chairs).

INFO: Eldercare Workforce Alliance National Call-in Day

On Tuesday, June 23 (between 9 am – 6 pm, ET), APA will join other members of the Eldercare Workforce Alliance (EWA), in a National Call-in Day to send a clear message to Congress: A Strong Eldercare Workforce is Essential to Real Health Reform.

Toward the end of next week, prior to Call-in day, we will send out another message with logistical information, including an 800# (that will connect to a voice-activated system), call-in instructions, and a sample script.

This effort is targeted to Representatives on the House Ways & Means, Energy & Commerce, and Education & Labor committees. We will be urging Congress to include the following measures in health reform:

à Increase the federal match for all long-term care services funded under Medicaid, which will give states incentives to increase these vital services.

à Expand the Geriatrics Health Professions Education and Training Programs under Titles VII and VIII of the Public Health Service Act to increase the supply of essential healthcare professionals.

à Extend greater federal minimum wage and overtime protection under the Fair Labor Standards Act to 1,500,000 home care workers.

à Provide loan forgiveness for professional training in geriatric care.

à Support appropriate care coordination services under Medicare and Medicaid.

à Provide training and support for direct-care workers and family caregivers.

We are very excited to be part of this collaborative effort to bring attention to this issue and I hope that you will join us in making our voices heard!

Please click here (www.eldercareworkforce.org) for more information on the Eldercare Workforce Alliance and its legislative priorities. Thank you.

APA Division 20 Social Event

Dear Lise:

Please Post the following message on the Division 20 Listserve:

CONFERENCES: The 2009 APA Convention, Division 20 Social Event

Please consider joining us for the Division 20 social event at the 2009 APA convention in Toronto on August 7^th. We will be attending a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game on Friday evening (the Saturday game conflicts with conference scheduling). This will allow more interaction among Division 20 colleagues and graduate students than a traditional restaurant setting would permit—and it is more inexpensive than many Toronto restaurants. The cost is $20 (US) per ticket. Please make checks payable to The University of Akron Psychology Department and send them to Phil Allen, Department of Psychology, University of Akron, Akron, OH 44325-4301. To obtain this special rate, we need to purchase at least 50 tickets, and preferably over 100. Please send in your requests and checks by June 30, 2009. We hope to see you in Toronto on August 7^th at the game.

Phil Allen and Becky Allen

Division 20 program chairs 2009

Thanks,

AoA Announces Availability of $5 Million for Community Aging in Place Programs

Projects will help older Americans to stay in their communities

Acting Assistant Secretary for Aging Edwin L. Walker is pleased to announce the availability of $5 million for Community Innovations for Aging in Place (CIAIP) grants. These new projects will promote aging in place for older individuals by developing and implementing innovative, cost effective, comprehensive and coordinated health and social services including evidence-based disease prevention and health promotion services that allow them to continue to live in their communities among their families and friends. The Community Innovations for Aging in Place program, included in the Older Americans Act Amendments of 2006, is modeled after Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCS). NORCS are neighborhoods where seniors can age in place with access to necessary support resources including transportation, health programs and social services. The CIAIP projects will build on the success of NORCS while integrating additional innovative models of aging in place. The closing date for CIAIP and cooperative agreement applications under this announcement is Wednesday, July 15, 2009. For more information about the CIAIP program, please contact: Deborahburns.Kuhn@aoa.hhs.gov To learn more about this opportunity, please visit http://www.aoa.gov/AoARoot/Grants/Funding/index.aspx

The deadline for award nominations is June 1, 2009.

APA's Board of Professional Affairs (BPA) seeks nominations for its 2010 Distinguished Professional Contributions Awards. All nominees must have excellent overall personal and professional reputations. Nominees should not have received disciplinary action from a state board of examiners in psychology and must have no history of ethical violations at the state or national level.

Winners receive an honorarium of $1,000; the opportunity to present an invited address at APA's 2010 Annual Convention in San Diego, California, August 12-15; a waiver of 2010 convention registration fees; and reimbursement of up to $1,500 in expenses related to attendance at the 2010 convention.

For each award, nominators should provide a detailed narrative statement of no more than 300 words on the nature of the contributions and focus of the nomination and an up-to-date resume and bibliography. Endorsements from other individuals or groups are encouraged. Also, nominators of award winners will be responsible for preparing a 100-word award citation. All nominees must have excellent overall personal and professional reputations.

Please send nomination materials for all categories to Ayo Bello at the APA address. You may also reach her by phone at (202) 336-5911 or email at abello@apa.org

· The APA Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Applied Research is given to a psychologist whose research has led to important discoveries or developments in the field of applied psychology. To be eligible, this research should have led to innovative applications in an area of psychological practice, including but not limited to assessment, consultation, instruction, or intervention (either direct or indirect). Research involving the original development of procedures, methodologies, or technical skills that significantly improve the application of psychological knowledge and provide direct and immediate solutions to practical problem areas will be considered, as will research that has informed psychologists on how better to observe, define, predict, or control behavior. Original integration of existing theories or knowledge is also eligible for consideration.

· The APA Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Independent Practice. The award is intended to recognize outstanding independent practitioners in psychology. Nominations will be considered for psychologists working in any area of clinical specialization, health services provision, or consulting, and services provided to any patient population or professional clientele in an independent practice setting. Services provided to diverse client groups or patient populations, including but not limited to children/adolescents/adults/older adults; urban/rural/frontier populations; minority populations; and persons with serious mental illness will be considered. Contributions may be judged distinguished by virtue of peer recognition, advancement of the public's recognition of psychology as a profession, relevant professional association honors, or other meritorious accomplishments denoting excellence as a practitioner including advancement of the profession.

· The APA Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Institutional Practice. The award is intended to recognize outstanding practitioners in psychology. Nominations will be considered for psychologists working in a wide variety of institutional practice settings (e.g. schools, military, state hospital, Department of Veterans Affairs, etc.). Services provided to diverse client groups or patient populations, including but not limited to children/adolescents/adults/older adults; urban/rural/frontier populations; minority populations; and persons with serious mental illness will be considered. Contributions may be judged distinguished by virtue of peer recognition, advancement of the public's recognition of psychology as a profession, relevant professional association honors, or other meritorious accomplishments denoting excellence as a practitioner including improvement of institutional service delivery systems or development of psychologically informed public policy.

· APA/APAGS Award for Distinguished Graduate Student in Professional Psychology is awarded on an annual basis by BPA and the American Psychological Association of Graduate Students (APAGS) to a graduate student who has demonstrated outstanding practice and application of psychology. A qualified candidate must demonstrate exemplary performance in working with an underserved population in an applied setting or have developed an innovative method for delivering health services to an underserved population. Nominees may have received their doctoral degree at the time of nomination provided that accomplishments for the award were achieved while a graduate student. Eligible candidates are encouraged to apply from all psychology sub-specialties (e.g., clinical, counseling, organization, school, health) and can be self-nominated or nominated by an APA member. However, all self-nominations must be endorsed by an APA member who serves the function of a nominator.

Each applicant must submit a summary of no more than 1,000 words regarding their work with an underserved population that must include a description of the student's work with this population, the status of the underserved population and number served, nature of psychological services/work done and its impact on addressing the needs of the identified population. In addition, nominees are expected to identify why the group they have worked with is considered underserved. Applicants must also submit a curriculum vita, a letter of support from a member of APA and, in the instance of a self-nomination, verification that the endorser will serve the role and complete the functions of a nominator.

The nominator/endorser will be expected to prepare the text for the award citation, attend the APA Annual Convention (at his or her own expense), serve as chair of the winner's award address, introduce the award recipient and prepare the written introduction for any APA publications wishing to publicize the award.
