Dear Members of APA Division 28,
I am emailing because I coordinate the Association for Behavior and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) Addictive Behaviors Special Interest Group's (SIG) list of faculty recruiting new graduate students for the 2021-2022 academic year. You may have seen this list in previous years. This year we are opening the list to any and all faculty with interests in addictive behaviors (broadly defined) who are recruiting students for graduate programs (e.g., masters, doctoral). You do not have to be an ABCT Addictive Behaviors SIG member to participate. This list is a service the SIG provides to our field and is a means to promote our most awesome group. (Obligatory pitch: It's a great group - you should join! 😉 See or website for info.) Below is the information about the list if you are interested. On the same spreadsheet in a different tab, we also create a list each year of faculty NOT accepting students. Please note, I will send out a view only link and a pdf of the list for broad dissemination on October 1, 2020. Also, feel free to forward this email to colleagues who may be interested.

It is that time of year again to solicit for the ABCT Addictive Behaviors Special Interest Group's faculty seeking students list. Below is the standard email sent every year, so for those who are new to the list it describes the motivation and rationale for the list. Attached is last year's list for reference. Based upon feedback from last year, I am compiling the list slightly different this year. We are using a Google Spreadsheet where faculty are to review and update information as necessary. If you are new to the list, just insert a line in the appropriate spot (alphabetical order by last name) and add your information. The main advantage of using a Google Spreadsheet is it becomes a living document and each person is responsible for their own information!
New instructions for this year:
Use this link to get to the Google Spreadsheet to review and update your information. Last year's list is the starting point for the list. Please note there are two tabs: (1) Faculty Taking Students, and (2) Faculty Not Taking Students. Please update your information to the correct list. Currently, all entries from last year are in red font with green shading. Upon updating your information, please change the font to black, and remove the shading. The font and shading allows me to know who has and has not updated their information. Individuals who do not update their information by September 30, 2020 will have it deleted so that the disseminated list is as accurate as possible.
Please follow-up with me (jeremiah.weinstock@health.slu.edu) with any questions or concerns.

Standard Email About the List:
Each year many of us work with undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing a masters or doctoral degree in an area of psychology with an emphasis on addictive behaviors. And speaking for myself, each year I provide the same five to ten names of colleagues who I know may be taking students. On the flip side, each year I am trying to find good students whose research interests align with mine and who would be a good candidate for admissions to our graduate program.
So, in order to better serve our undergraduate students and aid in the recruitment of qualified graduate students, I am hoping to again coordinate a list of faculty in graduate programs (both masters and doctoral) with research interests in addictive behaviors, broadly defined, who are taking students for the upcoming academic year (2021-2022). We also include a list of faculty who are not taking students in the upcoming year -- hopefully sparing you of several emails inquiring about whether you are taking a student in the upcoming year. The plan would then be to distribute the lists to members of Addictive Behaviors SIG and other outlets by October 1, 2020 so that they may then share it with their students.
If you are interested in participating please enter your information by September 30, 2020. Below is an example for a faculty member who is taking a student. If you are not taking a student, please place your name, graduate program and institution on the Not Taking Students list.

—Call for Nominations—
Nominations must be received by Sept. 28, 2020.
The American Psychological Association’s (APA) Advisory Steering Committee for the Development of Clinical Practice Guidelines is seeking nominations of individuals to serve on a guideline development panel that will produce an updated version of APA’s 2017 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in Adults. The Advisory Steering Committee seeks to produce an updated version that will be approved as policy by the APA Council of Representatives by 2022 or as soon as feasible, in keeping with the widely accepted recommendation that clinical practice guidelines be considered for updating at least every five years.
Individuals, including those from disciplines outside of psychology and members of the broader community who are affected by PTSD, are encouraged to self-nominate. Nominees who will enhance the diversity of the panel membership and the perspectives represented on the panel are particularly encouraged to apply. Individuals who previously served on the guideline development panel that produced the 2017 guideline are eligible to be considered.
The panel will be composed of seven or more members. They will include:
Nominees’ materials will be initially reviewed by the Advisory Steering Committee, and appointments to the panel will be made by APA’s Board of Directors. One member of the panel will be designated as the chair. Appointments will be contingent on a review of nominees’ potential conflicts of interests. Membership in APA is not a requirement to serve on the panel.
The panel will update the 2017 guideline’s recommendations based on current systematic reviews of the research literature as well as other literature and information, in a manner consistent with current best practices for updating clinical practice guidelines. The panel will not itself conduct systematic reviews but will utilize existing reviews and/or solicit new reviews, with the guidance of the Advisory Steering Committee and potentially other consultants. The panel will also update the organization and text of the guideline document in accord with guidance from the Advisory Steering Committee and other sources. Moreover, the panel will solicit and respond to public comments on a draft version of the document.
The panel’s work is expected to take approximately two years. Progress reports will be provided to the Advisory Steering Committee, Board of Directors, Council of Representatives, and APA governance groups on a regular basis. The panel’s activities will be supported by designated APA staff.
Panel members should have expertise or experience in one or more of the following areas:
It is anticipated that the members of the panel will collectively have experience working with a broad range of populations (including those described on such dimensions as race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, culture, language, gender, sexuality, and physical and mental abilities) and in a broad range of settings.
Panel members will be expected to commit to the following:
Interested individuals should nominate themselves. Your nomination materials should include a cover letter indicating your willingness to serve for two years (or until the guideline update is complete), a brief statement of your specific expertise and qualifications related to the criteria described above, and a current resume/curriculum vitae.
Current members of the following APA governance groups that have oversight of APA guideline activities are not eligible to serve on the panel: Board of Directors, Board of Professional Affairs, and Board of Scientific Affairs.
In general, individuals may serve on only one active APA clinical or professional practice guideline development panel at a time, although they may serve on more than one over the course of time.
Please email all nominations and supporting materials to the APA Clinical Practice Guidelines mailbox (cpg@apa.org) by 11:59 p.m. (ET) Sept. 28, 2020. In the event of questions or difficulties regarding email transmissions, please contact Jacob Marzalik, MA, project manager for APA clinical practice guidelines at jmarzalik@apa.org.

We are pleased to share that we are recruiting students for our PhD program in Health Behavior for fall 2021. Our program offers outstanding training for individuals interested in pursuing careers in public health research. We are especially looking for students with interests in—among other areas—the causes, prevention, and treatment of substance use problems, chronic pain, and related mental health conditions.
Our school has embarked on a period of rapid growth in faculty and research, in part through Indiana University's Responding to the Addictions Crisis Grand Challenge. This ambitious university-wide research initiative seeks to prevent and reduce the public health impact of opioid use and other addictive behaviors. Now is an exciting time to join us!
Available New Addictions Faculty Mentors in the Health Behavior Program
Dr. Kit Elam studies longitudinal genetic and environmental influences on adolescent and adult psychopathology and substance use (alcohol, marijuana, illicit drugs). His work focuses on how parenting and peer relationships in childhood and adolescence serve as risk and resilience factors for substance use, and their interplay with genetic influences. He studies these processes using longitudinal studies and methods spanning infancy to adolescence, and adolescence to adulthood. For more information, see here: https://go.iu.edu/34qt
Dr. Alison Greene studies how intervention design and implementation impact substance use and sexual health outcomes for adolescents, and how systems can improve conditions to support protective factors, impact health determinants, and decrease risk factors among adolescents and their families. She utilizes CBPR, mixed method designs, and translational science to conduct community-engaged adolescent health intervention research. For more information, see here: https://go.iu.edu/37pz
Dr. Patrick Quinn studies the causes and consequences of substance use. His interests range across substances (e.g., from cigarette smoking to opioids) and across the lifespan (e.g., from prenatal drug exposure to medication treatment for adults with ADHD). In particular, much of his research examines pain and its treatment with opioid medications, using longitudinal studies and methods from epidemiology and behavioral genetics. For more information, see here: https://go.iu.edu/35Ez
Our Program: The PhD program in Health Behavior helps students pursue rigorous research to address today's most pressing public health issues (https://publichealth.indiana.edu/academics/doctoral/phd-health-behavior/index.html). You will work with fellow outstanding students and an award-winning faculty in a versatile department that emphasizes the study of the promotion of health and the prevention of health problems. The program offers a breadth of opportunities for research, teaching, coursework, and professional development (https://bulletins.iu.edu/iub/phb/2019-2020/graduate/doctoral/health-behavior.shtml).
Incoming students will receive a competitive funding package including a stipend, health insurance, and tuition remission.
Located in beautiful Bloomington, IN, the Health Behavior program is housed in the Department of Applied Health Science of the Indiana University School of Public Health, a top-50 US school of public health.
How to Apply: Prospective students are highly encouraged to communicate with Drs. Elam, Greene, or Quinn to confirm a match of research interests before applying. A master's degree is required, and students should demonstrate an interest in a research-involved career, as well as evidence of research experience or potential. To receive priority consideration, please apply by January 15, 2021.

SAVE THE DATE:
Calling All Predoctoral, Postdoctoral, and Early Stage Investigators interested in NIH Grants and Drug Addiction Research!!
We miss you! As you know, various scientific meetings have recently been cancelled or postponed, which has resulted in the cancellation of the research training and career development workshops that the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) normally hosts at these scientific venues. In order to provide that critical information to all addiction scientists and address your questions, we invite you to a virtual NIDA Career Workshop on November 9, 2020.
This workshop will include an introduction from the NIDA Director, Dr. Nora Volkow; presentations on NIDA/NIH Training, Career Development and Diversity funding opportunities; and breakout sessions that will further discuss and answer specific questions relevant to the stage of your career.
This is a great opportunity for early-stage investigators to connect with NIDA program staff to learn about all the various funding awards and opportunities supported by NIDA, as well as whom to contact when you have questions about NIDA grants in the future.
For now, please mark your calendar and plan to join us on…
Monday, November 9th, 1:00 to 5:00 PM
More information and registration links coming soon!
Please let us know if you have any questions by contacting our NIDA Training and Career Development email address: NIDA_Training@nida.nih.gov
