[#DIV28SUPER] 2019 Annual Vermont Center on Behavior & Health National Conference

PLEASE FORWARD BELOW AND ATTACHED:

7th Vermont Center on Behavior and Health Annual Conference

COMPLEMENTARY CONTRIBUTIONS OF TOBACCO CONTROL & REGULATORY SCIENCE RESEARCH TO PROTECTING THE PUBLIC HEALTH

October 10-11, 2019

Burlington Hilton Hotel, Burlington, Vermont

The 7th Annual VCBH Conference will focus on the intersection between tobacco regulatory science and tobacco control, two of the major fields in tobacco research. We will bring together renowned researchers in both fields to see how each may compliment one another to decrease tobacco use nationwide.

 

This year's keynote speaker is Dorothy Hatsukami, Ph.D., Forster Family Chair in Cancer Prevention at the Masonic Cancer Center and Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Hatsukami's areas of expertise include nicotine addiction and its treatment, including testing medications such as nicotine vaccine and combination medications, in smokers.

 

We are also announcing the call for poster abstracts focused on research related to tobacco regulatory science or tobacco control. Abstracts will be evaluated on the basis of scientific merit. Please send submissions (including title, authors, affiliations, and 250-word abstract) to Diann Gaalema at diann.gaalema@med.uvm.edu by August 15. 

For conference program, registration and hotel links, please visit our conference webpage.

[#DIV28SUPER] Submit Behavioral and Social Sciences Accomplishments by July 31, 2019 – Help the NIH Generate a Comprehensive List!

The NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) is seeking comment and input from the research and health/public health communities to help inform a list of impactful public health and healthcare accomplishments/contributions resulting from behavioral and social sciences research (BSSR). Follow this link to view how NIH defines BSSR. Note: This BSSR accomplishments list will be broad and will not be limited to NIH-funded research.

On Monday, April 22, OBSSR launched its IdeaScale website, a public comment platform, to engage the research community-at-large for the development of a broad accomplishments list. Your feedback will be used to make the list of accomplishments as meaningful as possible and to communicate the significance of BSSR.

OBSSR is using IdeaScale to make it easy to submit to this list of accomplishments. (Once an IdeaScale account is created, a user can submit comments, browse and respond to comments that have already been submitted, and vote for their favorites.) OBSSR wants your input!

 

Please forward this information to your colleagues or other contacts who may be able to provide feedback and inform this list of BSSR accomplishments.

The deadline to participate in this BSSR accomplishments crowdsource is Wednesday, July 31, 2019 at midnight ET.

For inquiries or more information, contact: OBSSRnews@mail.nih.gov.

[#DIV28SUPER] Division 28 Survey Invitation

Dear Division 28 members. Please see the following survey invitation by Division members Bill Stoops and Justin Strickland.  Best, Matt

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

You are being invited to take part in a research study on feelings about clinical research participation. The entire study will take place using a web-based survey where you will be asked to answer questions about hypothetical research scenarios, attitudes, and behaviors. Note that you do not have to conduct clinical or human research yourself to participate and the survey is open to anyone willing to participate that is 18 years of age or older.

The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. If you complete the survey, you will be entered to win one of fifty $20 Amazon gift cards. This gift card will be sent to you via an email entered in a survey separate from the survey containing your responses.

The survey is located in the link below as is a cover letter providing more details about the study. We hope that you will find the time to complete this brief survey.

https://uky.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3n4VJMLbSvQPB1X

This project has been approved by the University of Kentucky Institutional Review Board (IRB). If you have questions about the study contact the Principal  Investigator William W. Stoops, Ph.D. at 859-257-5388 or at William.stoops@uky.edu or the Study Coordinator Justin C. Strickland, Ph.D. at Justrickland@uky.edu.

[#DIV28SUPER] Call for Papers: Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology

Special Issue for April 2020 on:

Advancing the Translation Between Clinical and Preclinical Models of Individual Differences in Vulnerability in Substance Use Disorders

This special issue will provide an overview of current translational research from both human and nonhuman animal researchers investigating individual difference factors in vulnerability to drug and alcohol use disorders. The goal of this special issue is to highlight translational clinical and preclinical research and to catalyze future translational approaches in the field. We encourage submission of review articles and original research reports in these areas, including individual difference factors in environmental, trait, and/or genetic domains. We encourage research that is translational in nature and would be especially interested in paired-research articles from different laboratories that are investigating the same individual difference factors across clinical and preclinical models. If submitting paired articles, authors are also invited to submit a comment on that set of articles. Nonhuman animal research that is translatable to the human conditions and human research that can be back translated to a nonhuman model are preferred. Papers addressing a variety of substances, including alcohol, marijuana, stimulants, and opiates, and their disorders, are welcome.

Researchers in this area may submit review articles or primary research reports to Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology to be considered for inclusion in this special issue. Manuscripts should be submitted as usual through the APA Online Submission Portal (http://pha.edmgr.com/), and the cover letter should indicate that the authors wish the manuscript to be considered for publication in the special issue on Advancing the Translation Between Clinical and Preclinical Models of Individual Differences in Vulnerability to Substance Use Disorders.  All submissions will undergo our normal peer review. Manuscripts received no later than October 1, 2019 will be considered for inclusion in the special issue. We strongly encourage individuals to contact the guest editors in advance with their ideas and a draft of the title and abstract.

Questions or inquiries about the special issue can be directed to the Guest Editors of the issue, Melissa A. Cyders, PhD, at mcyders@iu.edu or Dustin J. Stairs, PhD, at dustinstairs@creighton.edu, or the Editor, William W. Stoops, PhD at william.stoops@uky.edu.

[#DIV28SUPER] In need of Science Student Council Nominations for APA

We are in need of Science Student Council Nominations for APA. I assume the student would need to be a student affiliate of APA. We definitely need students to represent science in APA.

The deadline for nominations (including self nominations) for the Science Student Council has passed, and we only received 1 for biopsychology, 2 for cognitive, and 2 for developmental. We received 0 nominations in I/O and methodology. Therefore, we are extending the deadline until July 30 and reaching out to you to help spread the word.

To apply, students would submit an essay on how they might contribute to SSC, a description of their research, a 2 page CV, and a brief letter of recommendation from their advisory.

If you know of any good candidates, would you please share this opportunity with them? More information can be found athttps://www.apa.org/science/leadership/students/nominations.


Thanks,
