Special entertainment has been arranged that you will not want to miss. At 7:00 pm the correspondent on aging issues from The National Psychologist newspaper will be interviewing Dr. C. Cameronkowsky, a 1,000 year old psychologist, who is considering a run for the APA presidency! He will provide tips on longevity and healthy aging.
 
To make reservations for the reception, please make out a check directly to Erin Emery ($20 per person) who will be collecting for div 20 and 12-2 members and interested guests. Make your reservations by July 25th. Address:

 Dinner is not included in this event, but you may wish to dine afterward at Old Ebbitt Grill. If so, please make reservations for your group on your own (202-347-4801).
 
Facts about Old Ebbitt Grill: Founded in 1856, Presidents Grant, Andrew Johnson, Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt and Harding supposedly refreshed themselves at its stand-around bar.

In 1983, Old Ebbitt moved to its current location at 675 15th Street, N.W., to the Beaux-Arts building that was once the old B. F. Keith's Theater. Bringing its rich history with it, the "new" Old Ebbitt remains a virtual saloon Smithsonian.

 Old Ebbitt acquired beer steins, animal heads (reportedly hunting trophies of Teddy Roosevelt), and wooden bears said to have been imported by Alexander Hamilton for his private bar. The Victorian interior evokes Washington saloons at the turn of the century. Antique gas chandeliers and fixtures light the Main Dining Room. The wooden crossbeams on the 10-foot ceilings are accented by a style of pinstripe stenciling popular at the turn of the century. The chairs in the dining room are copies of antique Victorian bentwood chairs from a New York Central Railroad dining car. Historic paintings are found throughout the restaurant, including a ceiling mural by New Jersey artist Carol Loeb and impressionist-like paintings to capture unofficial Washington.
 
PLEASE JOIN US ON AUGUST 5TH FOR A MEMORABLE RECEPTION WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES!

Call for Nominations to the

Committee on Disability Issues in Psychology

 

 

APA's Committee on Disability Issues in Psychology (CDIP) seeks nominations for two new members to begin three-year terms on January 1. 

 

The Committee’s mission is to promote the:

§  psychological well-being of people with disabilities;

§  inclusion of knowledge about disabilities and disability issues in education, training programs, policies, and professional development of psychologists;

§  development and implementation of psychological service delivery modes responsive to the needs of people with disabilities; and

§  awareness of disability in psychological research as well as specific research activity in disability areas.

 

CDIP provides leadership within APA to shape policy, research and best practices in the field of psychology and disability. 2011 – 2012 initiatives include the identification, implementation and dissemination of culturally-competent and accessible services. Examples include but are not limited to multidisciplinary initiatives around health care disparities and the delivery of telehealth services.

CDIP is also particularly committed to promoting alliances with other underrepresented groups within the field of psychology in an effort to continue to increase the presence of disability in psychology while also appreciating the intersection of multiple identities with disability.

 

CDIP actively recruits members of the disability community and/or their allies who are full members of APA with specialization in disability issues. To this end, the Committee strongly encourages applications from those who have a disability and/or those with personal experience with disability. The Committee also seeks psychologists who are members of other underrepresented groups.

 

Selected candidates will be required to attend two committee meetings each year in Washington, DC, with expenses reimbursed by the APA, and are encouraged to participate in CDIP-sponsored activities held during the APA Convention at their own expense. Members are also expected to participate in email discussions and conference calls, and work on Committee priorities between meetings.

 

Nomination materials should include a current curriculum vitae and a letter from the nominee indicating willingness to serve on CDIP and highlighting specific competencies, interests, and potential contributions to the work of CDIP.

 

Nomination materials and supporting materials should be sent by August 20, 2011 to: Anju Khubchandani, Office on Disability Issues in Psychology, 750 First Street NE, Washington, DC, 20002-4242 or akhubchandani@apa.org.

Dear Colleagues,
I wanted to see if anyone had a copy they could scan and e-mail to me of a Div. 20 newsletter article I wrote in 1994 or 1995.
It had a "Top 10 List" of research topics that should be considered "in the future." I wanted to reflect back on the list in an upcoming article.

STUDENTS: APAGS/Psi Chi Junior Scientist Fellowship

Below you will find a NEW funding opportunity for students who are entering into the first year of graduate school. Please forward to outgoing senior undergraduates and incoming graduate students in your labs/departments!

------
APAGS and Psi Chi are committed to promoting psychological science and the needs of research-oriented students. The Junior Scientist Fellowship provides support for students entering their 1st year or the first semester of their 2nd year of a research-oriented graduate program.

Intent

The intent of the Junior Scientist Fellowship is two-fold: to provide funding for a 1st-year or 2nd-year graduate-level project and to provide constructive feedback to select applicants to increase their chances of achieving success on a future National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship application.

The primary intent is to recognize outstanding research-oriented students who are entering their 1st year (or first semester of 2nd year) of graduate study and to help them get their research off the ground. Graduate students from research-based psychology and neuroscience programs are eligible to apply.

The second intent of this fellowship is to provide written feedback to select applicants. Many students apply for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (eligibility requirements for the NSF fellowship) without ever having applied for a research fellowship. It is our intent to provide feedback to select applicants so that they can use that feedback to strengthen their NSF graduate fellowship application.

Funds

Funds for this $1,000 fellowship must be used to support direct research costs. These funds can be used to pay participants, purchase essential equipment or software, acquire books or instruction manuals critical to one's line of research, pay fees to publish at open-access journals, or for any other direct research cost. The funds cannot be used for indirect costs such as travel, personal computer, or class textbooks. The funds can be used for any direct research costs in a student's 1st year (or 2nd year, if submitting in the summer prior to one's 2nd year) of graduate school and do not need to be limited to the research discussed in the Research Essay. 

Eligibility

This grant is available only to students who are entering their 1st year or the first semester of their 2nd year of a research-oriented masters or doctoral program in Fall 2011. Students entering into programs with a practice component are eligible but should describe their graduate-level research intentions in the Personal Statement Essay. To be eligible, one must be a member of APAGS and a member of Psi Chi. This means that students entering their first year of graduate school must have joined Psi Chi as an undergraduate; students entering their second year of graduate school may have joined as undergraduates or during their second semester of graduate school.

Required Materials

1. Title page

Title page that includes the name of the fellowship for which you are applying, your contact information (name, mailing address, phone number, email), name of both undergraduate and graduate school universities, year in graduate school as of Fall 2011 (i.e., 1st or 2nd year), general area of graduate research, APA membership number, and full name/email of your graduate-level research advisor. 

2. Personal Statement Essay

Includes background information about the applicant, why the applicant believes she or he should be awarded the fellowship, and the applicant's future career goals. This essay should not exceed one page (single spaced) and will be assessed according to NSF's intellectual merit and broader impacts criteria

3. Research Essay

This essay includes two major components: previous research experience and future directions. The previous research experience component should demonstrate an understanding of prior research conducted, highlight one's skills, and illustrate development as a scientist. The future directions component can include either a formal proposal for a specific research project or may more generally address the future direction of one's research. The research essay must not exceed 3 pages (single spaced) and any references, figures, tables, or appendices must fit within the page limits. The research essay will be assessed according to NSF's intellectual merit and broader impacts criteria

4. Letter of Recommendation

This letter can come from either your undergraduate or graduate advisor. It should address your qualifications and promise as a scientist, and is not to exceed two pages (single spaced). 

5. (Optional) Curriculum vitae (CV)

Students have the option of submitting a brief CV (not to exceed two pages, single spaced). See this Psychology Today article for a description of how to compose a CV and to see examples.

All materials (title page, personal statement, research essay, letter of recommendation) must be submitted for an application to be considered. A CV is optional. Any application that exceeds the page limits for any of the essays or materials will not be scored or be eligible to receive feedback. Applications should also use size-12 Times New Roman font and include margins of at least 1 inch. Award decisions will be made in early September.

If you are not an APAGS member at the time of submission, you may send a copy of the receipt you receive when you join APAGS/APA electronically as proof of membership.

You may submit materials electronically or by mail.

INFO: Call for Submissions: Suggested Performance Indicators for the National Standards

 


From: APA Division Officers list on behalf of Leary, Emily

Subject: [DIVOFFICERS] Call for Submissions: Suggested Performance Indicators for the National Standards

Call for Submissions: Suggested Performance Indicators for the National Standards for High School Psychology Curricula

 

To facilitate the implementation of the forthcoming National Standards for High School Psychology Curricula (draft, 2011), the National Standards Working Group invites all APA governance groups, divisions, members, and affiliates, as well as the public, to contribute suggestions for Performance Indicators, to accompany the revised document. 

 

Designed to describe what high school students should learn in the high school psychology class, the National Standards is organized by Domains, Standard Areas, Content Standards, and Performance Standards.  Performance Indicators are used for the assessment of student learning, and should include examples of potential ways that a student can demonstrate mastery of the material.  An example follows from the current National Standards (APA, 2005):

 

Describe and compare the biological, behavioral, cognitive, sociocultural, humanistic, and psychodynamic perspectives.

 

Examples of performance indicators that would indicate whether or not students mastered this performance standard include:

 

·         Analyzing how each perspective would explain concepts, e.g., aggression, altruism;

·         Evaluating the limitations of each perspective in assessing behavior and mental processes;

·         Comparing primary emphases of the different perspectives; and

·         Examining historical factors that influenced the popularity of a selected perspective

 

Groups and individuals are invited to submit Performance Indicators online at http://apacustomout.apa.org/commentstandards/.  The first deadline for submission is June 15, 2011, but suggestions will be accepted on an ongoing basis.  A draft copy of the National Standards and instructions on submitting Indicators are provided through the website above. 

 

Performance indicators as recommended through this website will be reviewed by a panel of expert teachers and faculty and provided online to accompany the National Standards.  While Performance Indicators function merely as examples and are not meant to be all inclusive, the hope of the National Standards Working Group is that the online submission and review process will allow for a comprehensive, up-to-date listing of recommendations for teachers and other stakeholders to use.

 

Please contact eleary@apa.org if you have any questions.
