AWARDS: Sept 14 Application Deadlines for APA Awards

Graduate Students – Are you in need of funding? Remember to apply for an Early Researcher Award or Dissertation Research Award by the Friday, September 14 deadline.

Early Researcher Awards

Graduate students should keep September 14, 2007 in mind as the submission deadline for the 2007 Early Researcher Awards. These awards, sponsored by the APA Science Student Council, recognize outstanding student researchers who are currently early in their graduate training (i.e., this should be recently completed research, within approximately twelve months preceding the submission deadline). The Council is unable to accept submissions from advanced graduate students for research completed earlier in their graduate training. Submissions for research in progress will also not be accepted.

Strong preference will be given to students who demonstrate outstanding research abilities earlier in their graduate training (i.e., up to and including master's thesis or equivalent), and who show a considerable level of independence in conducting their research.

Up to three awards will be given in 2007, drawn from basic science, applied science, and/or interdisciplinary science areas. Each recipient will receive an award of $1,000.

Please visit <outbind://http://www.apa.org/science/era.html>www.apa.org/science/era.html

In cooperation with other research assistants, the fellow will take part in screening and recruiting participants for the studies, collecting and analyzing data using necessary computer software(s), writing and presenting study reports. The fellow will also be responsible for coordinating weekly project meetings and writing monthly progress reports for FDOT.

Apart from the project related responsibilities, there will be opportunities to pursue other research activities in human factors and applied cognition areas (e.g., the CREATE project). This position does not require any teaching responsibilities.

Remuneration/Benefits: The annual salary of this position is approximately US $50,000 with additional funding available for health insurance. However, no relocation cost is available.

Primary Sources in Counseling and Psychology is a unique new online database from Sage Publications.

We are looking to partner with leading practitioners to get transcripts that could be part of this research and educational tool. Our goal is to provide scholars, students, and therapists a window into the nuances of the process and experience of therapy. We plan to include transcripts of more than 2,000 hours of psychotherapy sessions – to date, we have almost half of those! The response we have gotten from educators is overwhelming -- everyone seems to want this kind of service and all feel that it would be extremely valuable in education and, ultimately, in helping patients. Each transcript will be carefully edited to ensure that it meets accepted guidelines and that neither the practitioner nor the patient will be identifiable. Our staff is fully trained in HIPAA guidelines. We believe we can adhere to current ethical guidelines and still create a dynamic, unique database. These transcripts will also be comprehensively indexed to enable research on the process of therapy on a scale never before possible.

Whether you might have 1 or 100 transcripts, we would welcome the opportunity to talk with you. Each therapist's contribution is handled differently depending on their own requirements, so the entire process of contributing to this educational venture is a highly personal one. If you want to know more, I hope you will contact me for a confidential discussion. Susan Gay, susang@snip.net or 610-581-7468.

FUNDING: Call for comments, NIH Peer Review system, Deadline extended to 9/7/07

Dear colleagues: NIH has extended to September 7 the deadline for you to respond to its Request for Information, giving your views about the strengths and weaknesses of the NIH peer review system. Many of you received the note below with a deadline of August 10 to share your comments with APA. Now we can extend the APA deadline to noon on Tuesday, September 4 (the day after Labor Day). Please send your comments to pkobor@apa.org. While we encourage you to respond directly to NIH, we hope you will share your views with APA to help inform the comments that APA gives to NIH. Please take some time to look at the website and give your views-- nothing is more important to the health of psychological science than a fair and stable peer review system.

Thanks for giving this matter your time and attention. See the latest issue of the NIH Director's newsletter for an in-depth discussion of NIH's "Review of Peer Review:"

http://www.nih.gov/about/director/newsletter/Summer2007.htm

We wish you a great summer,

Pat Kobor Science Government Relations Office American Psychological Association

________________________________

Dear colleague: NIH released an important Request For Information earlier this month, asking for ideas about how to change current peer review and grant submission systems to better accommodate the increased number of grant applications and to ensure that the peer review system keeps pace with the science that it serves. Two newly-formed advisory groups will review the feedback and report to the NIH Director's Advisory Committee.

Please take a moment now to reflect on your own experience with the NIH system and provide some comments or react to suggestions that have been made. Many new ideas are floating around NIH now. For example, some feel peer review should be done via teleconference or online software instead of face-to-face meetings, to allow more flexibility and make serving on panels less burdensome. Some feel that to get the best reviewers, NIH should compensate them in some way (e.g. by providing an extra year of support for their research grants). Some have suggested that the grant application form be shortened. Others have said that shortened forms may adversely impact new investigators who have less data to present and have to lay out more theoretical information to demonstrate the quality of their ideas. Perhaps you feel that the current system is fair and working well overall -- then you should certainly say so.

On the website, http://enhancing-peer-review.nih.gov/ there are instructions for providing comments on these issues. We encourage you to submit comments directly to NIH, but in addition, to share your comments with us at APA so your views can inform the comments that APA will submit.

This issue is so very important to the support of psychological research-- it deserves a few minutes of your time. Please encourage your colleagues to respond as well. We at APA expect to submit comments on Monday, August 13, so we encourage you to share your comments (to pkobor@apa.org) by the close of business on Friday, August 10. The NIH deadline for response is 5 pm on August 17, 2007. (Note that the APA convention begins on August 16!)

On behalf of my colleagues in the Science Government Relations Office and Science Directorate, we look forward to reading your thoughts and ideas on the NIH peer review system.

Angela Gutchess (Ph.D., University of Michigan): influence of age and culture on memory and social cognition;

Derek Isaacowitz (Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania): emotion in adulthood and old age and the interplay of cognitive processes, particularly attention, and emotion throughout the adult life-span;

Robert Sekuler (Ph.D., Brown University): vision, visual attention, and visual memory in adulthood and old age;

Patricia Tun (Ph.D., Georgia Institute of Technology): cognitive changes in midlife and late adulthood; effects of age and hearing ability on comprehension and memory for spoken language;

Leslie Zebrowitz (Ph.D., Yale University): age stereotypes, including the influence of nonverbal physical qualities (facial appearance, voice, gait) and the social and psychological consequences.

Applications should include a letter describing research interests and career goals, curriculum vitae, reprints, and three letters of recommendation. For more information contact Arthur Wingfield (Wingfield@brandeis.edu) or Margie Lachman (Lachman@brandeis.edu).
