[#DIV28SUPER] Apportionment vote - Reminder to give all 10 of your votes to Division 28

To all Division 28 members:

You may have just received your apportionment ballot from APA. The subject line in your email should read 2017 Apportionment Ballot Election.  This is a very important vote that determines our Division's representation on APA council,  I am writing to ask you to consider allocating all 10 of your votes to Division 28 so that Division 28 continues to have a strong voice in council decisions and APA policy.  

Please note that the boxes to check and list the number of votes that you are allocating are above the name of our division rather than below it (a bit confusing in my opinion).

Thanks for your continued dedication and support!

Best regards,

David

Co-Occurring Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders

Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth

 

The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth offers a unique postdoctoral training program in a developing area of transdisciplinary/translational research, co-occurring substance use and other mental disorders (COD) http://geiselmed.dartmouth.edu/scd/The philosophy of this program asserts that to effectively impact the problems of addiction and mental illness, one must be fully aware of their co-existence, etiologies, phenomenology, and clinical manifestations. Moreover, knowledge of integrated clinical approaches and the healthcare systems that serve those with co-occurring disorders are necessary to inform the questions to be asked in laboratory, animal and human imaging and clinical research studies.

 

At Dartmouth, six interconnected groups from neuroscience through implementation research, and across multiple departments provide research opportunities in intervention research, including digital health interventions, and developmental, social, behavioral, neurobiological mechanisms of addiction and co-occurring disorders. Faculty include preeminent national/international leaders and PhD and MD investigators with strong histories of training scientists. Program faculty lead diverse projects funded by many NIH institutes (NIDA, NIAAA, NIMH, NCI, NCATS and NICHD).

 

Appointment: Typically 2 years.  Eligibility: Applicants must have completed their training in psychology, or a related discipline and be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Trainees are selected on the basis of scholastic record and commitment to a career in research related to addiction and mental health.  Benefits: Stipend, medical insurance coverage, and travel funds supported by NIH Institutional Training Awards.  For more information:  Contact Dr. Alan Budney (alan.budney@dartmouth.edu).  To apply: Forward curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and 3 letters of reference to Brian Goodness, Operations Assistant (Brian.D.Goodness@dartmouth.edu).

Subject: Early Career Travel Awards for 2018 APA Convention

Dear NIAAA T32 Directors,

 

NIAAA has a number of travel awards available for early stage investigators to attend the 126th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association, which will be held August 9-12, 2018, in San Francisco, California.  Would you be able to post this call for submissions to your listserv to make your trainees available of this opportunity?

 

All the best,

 

Bettina

 

 

Dear Students, Post-docs, and Junior Faculty,

 

If you are doing research on alcohol use, we would like to invite you to apply for our early career travel award.  This award is for $750 to help defray costs to the 126th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association, which will be held August 9-12, 2018, in San Francisco, California.  Awards are made possible through funding from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (R13 AA022858; PI: Hoeppner), which seeks to foster the development of the next generation of alcohol researchers. 

 

To apply, simply submit your proposal via APA's online submission portal as you normally would

(http://www.apa.org/convention/proposals.aspx?tab=3).  You can submit directly to Division 50 (Addiction Psychology) or your home division.  APA's deadline for submission is December 1, 2017.

 

To be eligible for the travel award, proposals must focus on alcohol use or related problems.  If your proposal is accepted by your division for presentation, you can apply for the travel award by completing a short application form here: https://redcap.partners.org/redcap/surveys/?s=488JTE787YThe deadline for applying for the travel award is February 15, 2018.

 

If funded, presentations will be showcased at an Early Career Investigators Poster Session and Social Hour sponsored by the Society of Addiction Psychology (Division 50), Division 28 (Psychopharmacology and Substance Abuse), NIAAA, and NIDA.  That means that you will present your work twice at APA: during your regularly scheduled time, and additionally at our early career investigator poster session.

 

We strongly encourage you to apply.  We will be able to fund a total of 20 travel awards, and an additional 15 awards will be awarded for projects focusing on drug use other than alcohol through funding by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (R13DA038955; PI: Obasi).  The Early Career Investigators Poster Session and Social Hour is a superb opportunity to connect with your peers and leading scientists in the field of addiction.  Last year, we had over 160 attendees, including NIH staff (11) and members from 27 APA divisions, spanning the range from early to senior investigators.  We would love to have you be part at our 2018 Early Career Investigators Poster Session and Social Hour!

 

All the best,

 

Bettina Hoeppner

[#DIV28SUPER] APA Handbook of Psychopharmacology

Posted on behalf of Suzette Evans.

Dustin

Contributor(s) needed for the Final Chapter of the new American Psychological Association publication: APA Handbook of Psychopharmacology

The APA Handbook of Psychopharmacology (edited by Suzette M. Evans, PhD and Kenneth M. Carpenter, PhD) will provide a working knowledge of basic pharmacology and psychopharmacology in a language suitable for the targeted readership, and summarize the current and emerging research and clinical evidence related to the pharmacologic treatment of mental health disorders. Although psychopharmacology is constantly changing, particularly as new medications emerge, this handbook will provide a solid foundation of the field specifically geared towards psychologists. Our target audience primarily includes established psychology researchers and practitioners, but the Handbook will also be of value to allied social and behavioral scientists, as well as professionals in complementary fields such as clinical social work and mental health counseling. Moreover, psychology graduate students will find the chapters in the Handbook extremely valuable for gaining a sound familiarity with major specialties across the field.

We have identified contributors for all of the content-driven chapters and the chapters are rolling in at a rapid pace. At this time, we are in need of suggestions/offers regarding contributors for a pivotal and final chapter of the Handbook: Future Directions in Theory, Research, Practice and Policy. We are looking for someone with a very broad and global viewpoint who would be able to speak to the changing landscape of psychologists in the treatment of mental health disorders.

If you are interested in writing this chapter or have suggestions of others who might be appropriate, please contact Suzette Evans directly at se18@cumc.columbia.edu. I am looking to identify someone as soon as possible so we can maintain our production schedule so please respond by November 15th, 2017.
