Subject: Call for Ad Hoc Reviewers for Asian American Journal of Psychology

Dear Colleagues:

We are issuing a Call for Ad Hoc Reviewers for the Asian American Journal of Psychology (AAJP). Ad hoc reviewers are expected to review approximately 2-5 manuscripts per year in comparison to editorial board members who review about 8-12 manuscripts per year. Feel free to share this Call with colleagues who may be interested.

Serving as ad hoc reviewer provides an opportunity to learn about the publication and journal review process and as well as contributing to the field. The contributions of ad hoc reviewers are acknowledged in the final issue of the journal each year. Also, our editorial board which is regularly rotated, is selected from our list of ad hoc reviewers.

If you are interested in serving as an ad hoc reviewer for AAJP, please complete the attached form and email it to my research assistant, Kristen Mills <millskr1@msu.edu>. If your schedule or commitments change, we can readily change you to an "inactive status"
for a designated time period. Ad hoc reviewers need to have completed their doctoral degrees.

Please email me if you have any questions about serving as an ad hoc reviewer for AAJP. Thanks.

STUDENTS: Trainee opportunity!!

Dear Trainees of Division 20,

Globally, the number of older adults is expanding such that by the year 2030, the number of people over age 65 will exceed those under age 5 for the first time in history. This highlights the need for mental health professionals trained in geriatrics to treat this population, and for all psychologists to be aware of issues impacting older adults and their families. In order to assure appropriate training, the Society for Clinical Geropsychology (Division 12/Section 2 of the American Psychological Association) and the Council of Professional Geropsychology Training Programs (CoPGTP) would like to provide educational materials that fill gaps in geropsychology education to psychology trainees across the country. Toward this end, a survey of students' geropsychology training experiences is a crucial first step. The survey is being conducted internationally, including the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Clinical and counseling psychology graduate students, interns, and post-doctoral fellows, please complete this survey through the link provided below. As an incentive to participate, trainees will have the chance to win one of thirty $50 gift cards to Amazon.com. Participation in this project is completely voluntary. Your participation can help to shape the training of current and future psychologists, whether they specialize in geropsychology or another area.  All trainees are welcome to participate, whether they are members of the section or not, and whether they plan to specialize in geropsychology or not.

FUNDING: Minority Scholars to conduct Pilot Studies on Aging in Ethnic and Racial Minority Communities

FYI…

2011 Request for Applications
Center for Aging in Diverse Communities: A Resource Center for Minority Aging Research
Minority Scholars to conduct Pilot Studies on
Aging in Ethnic and Racial Minority Communities

Background: The UCSF Center for Aging in Diverse Communities (CADC) was established in October 1997 with funding from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and funded for a second 5-year cycle in 2002 and a third 5-year cycle in 2007. CADC is expected to enhance aging research in minority populations and increase involvement of minority investigators in the field. The ultimate goal of CADC is to close the gap in health between minority and non-minority older people. Although the emphasis is on later life, aging is a life-long process and many factors bearing on the aging process are linked to earlier life. Therefore, we interpret aging research broadly.

One of the principal goals of CADC is to fund pilot studies led by minority investigators that focus on health and health care issues of minority populations. CADC is now requesting applications for pilot studies to investigate issues of health and aging in African American, Latino, Asian American, Pacific Islander and American Indian populations. CADC will fund up to four pilot studies for the year starting no later than September 1, 2011. The main indicator of success for the pilot studies will be the research career development of the funded CADC scholar as measured by publication of the results and subsequent grant applications and funding. CADC faculty is committed to mentoring the funded scholar during and following the study to support development of a successful research career.

Please read the attached RFA for more details, please keep in mind that:
The completed electronic original application should be received no later than Monday, June 13, 2011 and send to: Eliseo J. Pérez-Stable, M.D. at eliseops@medicine.ucsf.edu with a cc to: Cecilia Populus-Eudave at ceciliap@medicine.ucsf.edu.

INFO: Please help Division 20 increase its membership for 2011!

Dear members of the APA Division 20 List-Serv,

As we continue through 2011, we are hoping to match or exceed our total membership from last year!  *We are only about 28 members shy our 2010 membership totals!*  If you have not renewed your membership, please consider doing so or joining as a new member!  As a long-time member of the Division myself, membership has allowed me to enjoy the multitude of professional benefits of Division 20 including job opportunities, faculty development, research training, and networking contacts that will help me throughout my career.

Please visit the APA Division 20 membership page (http://apadiv20.phhp.ufl.edu/join.htm) and fill out an application to join as a new member or a renewed member.  The membership page also provides a wealth detail of why membership in Division 20 is such a great professional opportunity.

In response to the need to create flexible membership options and encourage more robust participation in Division 20, we are excited to announce two new membership categories for new or current members:

1.  Professional affiliates are persons who, due to their proficiency in areas related to the mission of the Division, can contribute to the Division's objectives but do not hold membership in the American Psychological Association.

2.  International affiliates are also proficient in areas related to the mission of the Division and can contribute to the Division's objectives, but reside in a country outside of the United States.  International affiliates do not have to hold membership in the American Psychological Association to join Division 20.

Dues for both Professional and International Affiliates are the same as Divisional dues for full members (e.g., $44 per year), and confer many of the same benefits as Full Members, including subscriptions to Adult Development & Aging News as well as Psychology and Aging.  However, to reiterate: one does not have to join APA itself in order to be an Affiliate of Division 20!

To join as a Professional or International Affiliate, please go to http://memforms.apa.org/apa/cli/divapp/.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the email or numbers below.

If you are a member, you will note on the APA Division 20 membership page that we have designed new brochures.  If you would like some brochures to post in your office or share with colleagues, please let me know and I would be happy to mail you some.  Please spread the word and encourage your colleagues to join.

If you have any questions, or if there is anything I can do to help facilitate your membership in APA Division 20, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Sincerely,

Joe Gaugler
Membership Chair
APA Division 20

Hi Clinton,

We are looking for more volunteer clinical psychologists to assist with an "On-call" Scientists request and I was wondering if you would mind distributing a notice about this request through as many means as possible. The details are below:

Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) has contacted the AAAS "On-call" Scientists project in search of mental health professionals who are available to document evidence of torture and other abuse for asylum seekers in the US. Volunteers may be asked to review one case, or multiple cases in one year, depending on the demand at any given time and location. Each case is estimated to take about 6 hours of the volunteer's time, including the evaluation of the individual and preparation of documentation in support of their asylum application. You are always free to decline a case. Further information about the PHR Asylum Network, including resources available to volunteers, is available below.

All volunteers must be board certified and/or hold a current state license. PHR will request copies of relevant documentation once you are in direct contact.

Anyone interested in volunteering for this work is invited to sign up to become a volunteer here:
http://oncallscientists.aaas.org/default.aspx. If they have any questions, they can contact me directly at oncall@aaas.org.

Thank you for your help and please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.

Physicians for Human Rights* Asylum Network consists of hundreds of health professionals throughout the country who offer pro bono psychological and physical evaluations to document evidence of torture and other abuse for men and women fleeing persecution in their home countries.  Asylum Network volunteers employ the very skills they use in their everyday careers as health professionals to provide unbiased evaluations of asylum seekers.  The medical testimony that Asylum Network volunteers provide, and that asylum seekers submit to the government in support of their asylum applications, is often the difference between an individual being granted asylum or being forced to return to persecution or even death in their home countries.  Nearly 90% of the applicants evaluated by PHR Asylum Network volunteers in recent years have been granted asylum*a clear signal that the expertise of volunteer health professionals makes a huge difference in promoting the human rights of asylum seekers.

PHR provides interested and qualified health professionals with a written guide that includes an overview of political asylum law and procedure, discusses health professionals* role in asylum cases, and reviews components of appropriate testimony.  PHR also provides new volunteers with the name of an experienced Asylum Network volunteer to serve as a mentor, background information on the human rights situation in the client*s country of origin, and sample evaluations.  Health professionals are free to take on as many cases as their schedule permits, whether it*s once case per year, or one case per month.  The asylum seeker*s attorney will provide a translator to assist in the health professional*s evaluation if necessary.

Subject: [DIVOFFICERS] Telepsychology Task Force requesting input

Division Officers:  I am forwarding the following e-mail for distribution.  Thank you. Joan Freund.

Earlier this year, the American Psychological Association (APA), the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB), and the American Psychological Association Insurance Trust (APAIT) joined together to create the APA/ASPPB/APAIT Telepsychology Task Force.  The Task Force, comprised of members from the three sponsoring groups, is charged with developing telepsychology guidelines that will provide direction to psychologists as they navigate the numerous ethical, regulatory, legal and practice issues that arise in the use of technology in the delivery of psychological services.

This e-mail is sent on behalf of the co-chairs of the Task Force, seeking your input on issues you believe the Task Force should consider in developing guidelines. The questionnaire for providing input is at the following link: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/561430/telepsychology.  Each individual providing input will have the opportunity to identify up to six (6) issues they believe the Task Force should address at this time.  

Input received through the questionnaire will be reviewed by Task Force members as they meet in the next year to discuss and develop telepsychology guidelines.  The Task Force looks forward to reviewing the input that will be received throughout the year, however, to ensure that your input is reviewed by the Task Force in the initial development of the guidelines, please provide feedback by July 6^th.

INFO: PLEASE NOTE RE: Div 20 - 12/II Combined Social Event at APA

As the checks come pouring in (yes, they actually have been!) from Division 12/II and 20 members for the combined social event at the APA convention, I'd like to request that people include your Division (many will be both, which is fine) and email address.  This is particularly important for students, as we have a limited number of subsidized student tickets available for each section.

Dinner is not included in this event, but you may wish to dine afterward at Old Ebbitt Grill.

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.  Old Ebbitt Grill IS handicapped accessible.
 
PLEASE JOIN US ON AUGUST 5TH FOR A MEMORABLE RECEPTION WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES!

CYF Call for Nominations (2012-2014)

The Committee on Children, Youth, and Families (CYF) is anticipating two vacancies in 2012. CYF welcomes nominations from individuals interested in linking research and policy for children and families within APA and the profession. The Committee is particularly interested in candidates with substantial expertise and demonstrated experience in applying psychological knowledge to the well-being and optimal development of children, youth, and families; and in issues advancing psychology as a science and profession in the area of promoting health and human welfare. Candidates are sought who have particular expertise in contemporary issues facing children, youth, and families in the context of their socioemotional and cognitive development and mental health. Candidates who have particular interest in culturally and linguistically diverse, understudied, underserved and diverse populations are especially encouraged to apply.

Members are expected to participate in a targeted project directly related to CYF's work and mission and to APA as a whole. The project is to be completed during their three-year term on the Committee. Some examples of topics previously addressed include immigrant children, youth, and families; school drop-out prevention; psychological implications of disasters; early mental health interventions; violence against children in the family and community; child maltreatment; the mental health needs of all children and adolescents; systems of care; bullying and violence in the media; homeless youth and families; spirituality and resilience; and promotion of healthy active lifestyles and prevention of obesity in children and youth. Areas of interest to the Committee at present include education, mental health, and health disparities; suicide prevention; cultural diversity; and social media. Potential candidates are encouraged to visit the CYF website (http://www.apa.org/pi/families!
/committee) to learn more about CYF's mission and prior initiatives.

The Committee places a priority on maintaining representation within the Committee's membership that reflects the diversity of psychology and society (e.g., ethnicity, culture, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, geographic location, and those who are employed less than full time). The candidates selected to serve on the Committee will serve for three years and will be required to attend two Committee meetings a year in Washington, DC, with expenses reimbursed by APA, and to participate in conference calls. The successful candidate is expected to attend, if possible, the informal CYF meeting held during the APA convention at the member's own expense. In addition, members are expected to work on projects and Committee business between meetings.

Each candidate is asked to submit:

(1) a letter indicating his/her willingness to serve;

(2) a brief statement describing the applicant's expertise and interest in one or two contemporary issues facing children, adolescents and families that they would bring to the Committee;

(3) two letters supporting their nomination; and

(4) a current curriculum vita.

Nomination materials including a letter from the candidate indicating a willingness to serve, an issues statement, two letters supporting their nomination, and a current CV must be received by Monday, August 29, 2011. Nomination materials received after August 29 will be held for consideration the following year. Material may be sent to CYF Nominations, c/o Amani Chatman, Public Interest Directorate, American Psychological Association, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC, 20002-4242, by email achatman@apa.org<mailto:achatman@apa.org> or fax (202) 336-6040.
