The American Psychological Association has initiated a process for the development of evidence-based clinical treatment guidelines for psychologists. This is the first time that APA has sought to develop recommendations for treatments of particular disorders and conditions. As an initial step in the development of treatment guidelines, a six-member advisory steering committee is being formed that will include experts in such areas as clinical research, comparative effectiveness research, and services research.
Note: Candidates with relevant expertise but not selected for the Advisory Steering Committee will be considered for participation as Technical Advisors and/or on Treatment Guidelines Development Panels. Details on how these groups will be formed, interface and function will be finalized by the Advisory Steering Committee.
CONA wishes to encourage those with expertise in this area to apply. Nominations are due May 1st. See specific qualifications and nomination details at: http://www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2010/04/treatment-guidelines.aspx
