Dr's Justin Strickland, Saeed Ahmed, and Kelly Dunn invite you to submit an article to a special collection of Frontiers in Psychiatry, Addictive Disorders titled "A Changing Epidemic and the Rise of Opioid and Stimulant Co-Use".

We aim to develop a multi-disciplinary collection that will inform the co-use of stimulants such as methamphetamine and cocaine with opioids. All related science is welcome and we particularly encourage submissions in the following areas
  • Electrophysiological data
  • Animal behavioral studies
  • Human empirical studies
  • Epidemiological reports of prevalence, morbidity, mortality, or co-use patterns
  • Related commentaries or reviews
Initial submissions are due September 29, 2021 (with opportunity to extend submission deadline upon discussion with co-editors). More information and the submission portal can be accessed here: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/20614  and we can be contacted at the addresses below.

Warm regards,

Justin Strickland, Ph.D.: jstric14@jhmi.edu

[#DIV28SUPER] Call for Papers for Special Issue of Psychology of Addictive Behaviors: "Addictive Behavior as Behavioral Allocation"

Call for Papers for Special Issue of Psychology of Addictive Behaviors on

“Addictive Behavior as Behavioral Allocation”

 

Guest Editor Jalie A. Tucker with Associate Guest Editors Joanna Buscemi,

James G. Murphy, and Derek D. Reed

 

Fifty years ago basic science research on behavioral choice fomented a revolution in reinforcement theory by showing that any voluntary behavior can be fruitfully studied as choice arising out of a context of all possible behaviors and associated environment constraints. As epitomized by the pioneering work of psychologist Howard Rachlin, research on behavior patterns over time in relation to available activities in the surrounding environment demonstrated that preference for a given activity varies with constraints on its access and on the other alternatives, and strength of preference for an activity is measured by the relative amount of resource (e.g., time, effort, money) allocated to gain access to it. This molar level of analysis relating rates of behavior to rates of consequences over time laid the foundation for the emergence of behavioral economics in the 1980s, and seminal applied connections were soon made between the molar choice perspective, behavioral economics, and the analysis of substance use in humans. This work has continued to the present and has expanded to include other addictive and health behaviors.

 

This special issue, dedicated to Howard Rachlin who died in 2021, honors his work and recognizes his influence on applied research on addictive behaviors, the initial area of application and arguably the most successful to date. Manuscripts are sought in all areas of research on human addictive behaviors spanning the basic to applied continuum that aim to understand addictive behavior as molar behavior allocation patterns over time. Conceptual, empirical, and methodological contributions that advance applied research on addictive behaviors and inform positive behavior change at the individual or community level will be considered. For example, papers may focus on the behavioral economics or neuroeconomics of addictive behaviors; choice behavior and decision-making processes; choice biases and choice architecture in strategies to reduce addictive behavior; intervention approaches informed by behavioral economics or theories of choice; natural recovery from addictive behavior patterns; measurement approaches in laboratory and natural environments; quantitative methods for representing and analyzing data on behavioral patterning over time; social cooperation and interactions with addictive behaviors; and unresolved and under-developed conceptual and empirical issues in the field. Papers that contextualize individual choice behavior within broader community and policy environments and consider social determinants of health will be given favorable consideration.

We will consider full-length articles and brief reports that present on original research and scholarship. All submissions must adhere to journal guidelines and will undergo peer review. The special issue article type will be open to submissions on August 10, 2021 with a deadline for manuscript submission on February 15, 2022. Prior to submitting a manuscript, authors are asked to submit a brief letter of intent to Guest Editor Dr. Jalie A. Tucker (jaliet@ufl.edu).

I.          Call for Application for Early Career Investigator Showcase (ECIS) Award

Due September 10, 2021, 5:00 PM EDT

 

The 2021 NIDA-NIAAA Mini-Convention is now soliciting applications for the Early Career Investigator Showcase (ECIS) award. Applicants should be trainees or junior investigators who meet the definition of a NIH New Investigator/Early Stage Investigator [NI/ESI] of being within 10 years of completing a terminal research degree or medical residency [http://grants.nih.gov/grants/new_investigators/].  Eight (8) individuals will be selected for this symposium. Individuals selected for ECIS will be chosen for the quality of their research and its relevance to the missions of NIDA or NIAAA, or to the themes of the scientific sessions of the Mini-Convention. ECIS participants are expected to prepare both a virtual poster presentation of their research that will be available to attendees during the Mini-Convention and an 8-minute oral presentation that briefly describes the research. 

To apply, please complete the application form, include your Curriculum Vitae/Resume and list of publications, and send via email (to ECIS.Abstracts@seiservices.com) by Friday, September 10, 2021 5:00 PM (EDT). To consider your application, you must select only one Institute on the form. Abstracts accepted for the 2021 SfN Virtual Meeting may be submitted for presentation at ECIS. All applicants will be notified of the status of their submission by Friday, October 8, 2021. For additional information, please contact: for NIDA [Anne Tsai, stsai@nih.gov] or for NIAAA [John Matochik, jmatochi@mail.nih.gov].

This funding opportunity announcement aims to support research focusing on the identification of druggable new targets and discovery of optimizable probes for development of safe and efficacious medications to prevent or treat opioid use disorders (OUDs), opioid overdose, and opioid-polysubstance use comorbidities. This announcement is specifically focused on identification of novel targets and early preclinical development of small molecules and biologics. Emphasis is on the identification of drug targets and validation through development of probe molecules to modulate those targets.
