International Max Planck Research School The Life Course: Evolutionary and Ontogenetic Dynamics (LIFE)
The graduate program LIFE is an international collaboration between three Berlin institutions (Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Humboldt University, and Free University Berlin), two US institutions (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; University of Virginia, Charlottesville), and the University of Zurich. The University of Zurich is currently involved with 9 faculty (5 full professors, 4 assistant professors) and 7 doctoral students. The goal of the Research School is the study of developmental changes in human behavior over evolutionary and ontogenetic time. LIFE takes an integrative and interdisciplinary approach to understanding human development in a changing world, connecting evolutionary, ontogenetic, historical, and institutional perspectives.
As a collaborative Research School, LIFE offers doctoral students unique training in the dynamics of human behavior on different time scales and includes opportunities for research abroad at a cooperating institution. The training program involves seminars, a series of academies, and collaborative supervision of research training. Detailed information, including the roster of faculty at the various institutions, can be found at www.imprs-life.mpg.de.
The Zurich site is now announcing three additional fellowships funded by the Jacobs Foundation, targeting international post-diploma or post-master's graduate students who intend to pursue a doctorate in psychology. At the Zurich site, there is a close collaboration between the Department of Psychology and the Center of Gerontology, offering also access to imaging technology.

Great news from Diane Elmore who made it happen!
On Wednesday, Senator Clinton (D-NY) introduced the Health Professional and Primary Care Reinvestment Act (S. 3708), her bill to amend Title VII of the Public Health Service Act. We have been working with her office on this legislation for several months and are delighted to report that we successfully secured a number of key provisions in this legislation, including:
The legislation also includes important provisions to recruit and retain health professionals from underrepresented minority groups and to improve cultural and linguistic competence in health professions education and training.
We look forward to working with you all to ensure enactment of this important legislation. I have included a copy of Senator Clinton’s press release below, which mentions APA among the key supporters of the bill. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this new legislation.
Warm regards,

We need to encourage more people from disadvantaged areas to join the health workforce while providing incentives for health professionals to bring primary care services to underserved communities. This bill will improve medical services in the areas that need them most and is a step in our ongoing effort to ensure that every single American has quality, affordable health care,” said Senator Clinton. Senator Clinton’s legislation would encourage more health professionals to pursue primary care practice by providing incentives for primary care training and strengthening primary care departments at the community level. It would increase the number of disadvantaged and rural students in health care professions through loan and scholarship programs, and expand funding for prevention training and increasing linkages with local health departments. The legislation would also help to expand the availability of medical care in underserved areas, strengthen coordination of mental health care and physical health care, and expand geriatric care programs. Finally, it would assist with managing and planning for future health care workforce needs by establishing national and regional health workforce analysis centers. Senator Clinton’s bill has been endorsed by multiple health organizations, including Advocating for Family Medicine, American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Physician Assistants, American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, American College of Preventive Medicine, American Dental Association, American Dental Education Association, American Geriatrics Association, American Osteopathic Association, American Psychological Association, Association of Departments of Family Medicine, Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors, Association of Minority Health Professions Schools, Inc., Association of Schools of Public Health, Hospital Association of New York State, National AHEC Organization, National Council for Diversity in the Health Professions, North American Primary Care Research Group, Society of General Internal Medicine, the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, and the National Rural Health Association. ### | |

Dear Division 20 member,
While we in the U.S. are thinking about the national elections, there is another election going on that I would like you to vote in, if you haven’t already. The APA presidential ballots have been mailed and are also available for online voting. If you haven’t cast your ballot yet, I urge you to do so as it is the only APA election in which membership directly votes. Please exercise your membership right by casting this ballot today.
Michael Marsiske and I are jointly endorsing Ron Rozensky for this election. The reasons are stated by Michael, below, in a letter he forwarded to me. I totally concur with Michael’s statement and wish to add that in the 8 years I have known Ron through APA governance in his service as Council Rep and Board member, he has demonstrated a great appreciation for the complex issues facing the organization. Pertinent to Division 20, Ron also has taken positions that have benefited aging individuals, particularly focusing on health care needs. However, at a broader level, as stated by Michael, Ron has been a real voice of reason in the dialogue between science and practice.
Thank you for reading this email and if you have questions, please contact Michael or me and we will be happy to provide more information.
Best,
Susan
Here is Michael’s statement:
From 2000-2007, Ron Rozensky served as Chair of the Department in which I work (Clinical and Health Psychology at the University of Florida). In the role, and since then as a colleague, he has been personally supportive of me. Although my positive views of him are not "independent and objective", I nonethless believe that he would serve APA and Division 20 well if elected as APA President.
As I wrote last year, I do believe, within APA, that Ron really is the right candidate. The historical tensions with APA, between "science and practice" have not (to my knowledge) abated. In recent years, "science" has effectively banded together to promote excellent prestige candidates (e.g., Sternberg, Halpern, Seligman)...but in so doing some in the "practice" constituency have felt disenfranchised. In addition, for Division 20, science-practice is not a dichotomy but a partnership, as we work with Section II/Division 12 to further geropsychology. I believe that Ron has embraced the science-practice synthesis, and he may be invaluable in bridging constituencies in APA.
Honestly, I'm not sure we have had too many "bridge building" candidates. Ron is NOT a scientist (in the sense that he has not had a funded or prolific program of research). But he has overseen (for seven years) an academic department with substantial NIH funding (which grew above the rate of the NIH budget doubling, and continues to grow) and productivity, and one which was rated in the top-20 of programs in its' class (i.e., Clinical) in US News and World Report. He also oversaw the clinical psychology service for University of Florida. What this means is that he has a keen understanding of both academic psychology and institutional practice.
Ron has spent relatively less time (but some, not recently) in private practice, but I think he has some connection to that. He has also been active in APA's educational affairs, and has thereby shown a strong willingness to work for APA's educational mission.
Ron's personal statement in response to Division 20 questions elucidates the ways in which--programmatically and personally--he has been supportive of aging research and scholarship. His own avocation is as "Health Psychologist". As our partnership with the Health Psychology division evinces, the focus on psychological antecedents, consequences, and interventions in chronic disease can be a key area of overlap with aging-focused scientists. Ron has consulted for some time with a private foundation interested in incontinence work. While Chair at UF, Ron personally oversaw the hiring of several faculty with aging interests, he supported our participation in "aging organizational" activities, and he provided the departmental infrastructure for our NIA-funded T32 grant in aging.
In this year's crop of candidates, I also believe most Division 20 faculty will find that he really is the only one with research-relevant credentials (having overseen a Research I academic department for many years), and his focus is the most closely aligned with aging. I think he would be a good President for Division 20.
Michael
