Janet
Hyde Graduate Student Research Grants
Proposals are being sought for Hyde
Graduate Student Research Grants. These grants, each up to
$500, are awarded to doctoral psychology students to support
feminist research. The grants are made possible through the
generosity of Janet Shibley Hyde, Ph.D., who donates the
royalties from her book, Half the Human Experience, to this
fund. Past recipients of Hyde Graduate Student Research Grants
are not eligible to apply. Because the purpose of this award
is to facilitate research that otherwise might not be
possible, projects that are beyond the data analysis stage are
not eligible.
Please send all application materials
attached to a single e-mail message to both of the Hyde Award
Co-chairs at the following addresses by September 15th (or
March 15th for the spring deadline):

analysis stem from the proposed theory and purpose.

one-page statement articulating the study's relevance to
feminist goals and importance to feminist research.
5. The expected timeline for progress
and completion of the project (including the date of the

Preference will be given to proposals that have received

expenses, or travel to present research at a conference.

10. All sections of the proposal should
be typed and prepared according to APA style (e.g., please use
12-point font)
Proposals that fail to meet the
guidelines described above will not be reviewed.
Review Process
A panel of psychologists will evaluate
the proposals for theoretical and methodological soundness,
relevance to feminist goals, applicant's training and
qualifications to conduct the research, and feasibility of
completing the project.
Other Requirements
Only one application will be accepted
per student, for each application deadline. Applicants who
are involved in multiple projects that meet the submission
requirements should choose the project that best fits the
evaluation criteria (see “Review Process”).
Within 24 months of receipt of the
grant, recipients are expected to submit to the Hyde committee
co-chairs a complete and final copy of the research document
(e.g., a copy of the thesis, dissertation or journal
manuscript based on the sponsored research), along with a
500-word abstract for publication in Division 35 newsletter.
In addition, grant recipients shall acknowledge the funding
source in the author's notes in all publications. Hyde award

Ad
Hoc Committee on Psychology and AIDS – Call for
Nominations
The
American Psychological Association (APA) Ad Hoc Committee on
Psychology and AIDS (COPA) is seeking nominations for three
new members whose term will begin on January 1, 2012, and
end on December 31, 2014. The mission of COPA, an ad hoc
committee that reports to the Board for the Advancement of
Psychology in the Public Interest (BAPPI), is to guide the
development and implementation of APA’s organizational
responses to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
COPA members must be APA members, and they are required to attend two, face-to-face meetings per year in Washington, DC, with expenses reimbursed by APA, and to participate in monthly conference calls. Between meetings, members are expected to devote a substantial portion of time to COPA projects, provide consultation to APA Office on AIDS staff, and participate in advocacy activities as needed. Each of the face-to-face meetings begins on a Friday morning at 8:30 a.m. and ends on Sunday morning at noon. On average, in addition to the time associated with the 1-hour monthly conference calls and the time associated with the two face-to-face meetings each year, members spend about 2 to 4 hours per month on COPA business.
Candidates should have demonstrated expertise in dealing with HIV/AIDS issues as a researcher, practitioner, educator, and/or policy advocate. COPA seeks to involve a diverse group of psychologists, including persons of color and individuals who are living with HIV. COPA is particularly interested in candidates with expertise in the following areas: (1) HIV prevention and care for youth, (2) HIV/AIDS-related neurocognitive issues, (3) the use of technology with HIV/AIDS prevention and care, (4) HIV/AIDS-related health disparities, and/or (5) public policy pertaining to HIV/AIDS prevention and care.
Nomination materials should include a summary of the nominee's qualifications, a letter from the nominee indicating a willingness to serve on COPA, and a curriculum vita. Self-nominations are encouraged. Materials should be sent by mail or e-mail to Cherie Mitchell, Office on AIDS, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242, E-mail: [log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask]. All materials must be received no later than September 6, 2011.
