*CALL FOR APPLICATIONS*

*Interdivisional Mentoring Award for APA Convention 2012
*

* *

*$1K travel award for advanced graduate and post-doctoral scholars *

*working in basic-process psychological subdisciplines*

Aspiring psychological scientists are invited to apply for a terrific
professional development opportunity. Divisions 3 (Experimental Psychology),
6 (Behavioral Neuroscience & Comparative Psychology), 28
(Psychopharmacology), and the Committee on Animal Research and Ethics (CARE)
are collaborating to offer a mentoring and networking opportunity for
promising new scholars working with humans or non-human animals in the
fields of behavioral neuroscience, comparative psychology, experimental
psychology, and psychopharmacology.

A cohort of up to 12 awardees will be funded to attend the APA Annual
Convention in Orlando, Florida (August 4-7, 2012), where they will
participate in activities designed: to enable them to develop meaningful
contacts with each other, senior scientists in their fields, and personnel
from funding agencies; to help awardees' navigate the increasingly diverse
professional settings that they will encounter early in their research
career; and to identify with APA as a professional home.

The travel award of $1,000 is provided to defray the awardee's travel,
accommodations, and registration costs. Attendance at the Convention of all
program activities, including participating in workshops and making a brief
research presentation, is expected as a condition of the award. Awardees
also can take advantage of the APA Convention's richness and breadth, which
is unparalleled by other scientific meetings and can significantly enhance
their readiness for psychological careers. This program also aims to make
our research community more inclusive; toward this end, we especially invite
participation of scientists from underrepresented groups.

To apply, submit a statement of your research interests, a CV, and a copy of
a recent paper (published or in press) by *December 1, 2011*, to Sangeeta
Panicker, Ph.D., Director, Research Ethics Office, Science Directorate:

selection process by mid- January, 2012.
