APA Fighting for Social and Behavioral Science!
 

APA with 26 scientific societies signed a letter to Francis Collins, MD, PhD, the acting science adviser to President Joseph Biden, urging that the next NIH Director demonstrate a knowledge of and commitment to behavioral and social sciences research at NIH. 

Dr. Collins, who resigned as NIH Director in December, 2021, returned to serve in an acting capacity as the President's Science Adviser after the resignation of Eric Lander, PhD.  Dr. Collins has been explicitly tasked with helping to identify the next nominee for the Director of the NIH. Many psychological scientists listened with great interest when, in his final days as the Director of NIH, Dr. Collins repeatedly stated his regret that he had underestimated the importance of the behavioral sciences.

The letter, coordinated by the Federation of Associations in Behavioral and Brain Sciences, states, "…[O]ur country faces ongoing urgent health concerns on troubling trajectories. A mental health crisis, addiction, obesity, and health disparities are all growing problems with significant behavioral and social contributors. These issues coincide with the major societal challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and racial injustice. To most effectively prevent illness and address the negative health consequences of these cascading circumstances, the NIH must recognize the interactions between biological factors and behavioral and social ones to build a better understanding of the interconnectivity of complex systems that contributes to health outcomes. A successful Director would be able to articulate a vision for a comprehensive and balanced approach to improving Americans' health that considers biological, behavioral, social, and environmental factors in tandem."

Are you an NIH Peer Reviewer? Want Better Reviews? Take a Moment to Look Over this Plan and Send APA Your Feedback
 
The Center for Scientific Review (CSR) at NIH is updating its 5-year Strategic Plan and is asking for stakeholder feedback. Please help APA weigh in to ensure the peer review system works for psychological scientists. You can participate in two ways: send your input to APA to inform our comment to the plan (send comments by 3/20 to Pat Kobor at APA) or make comments to the plan directly at feedback@csr.nih.gov, no later than 3/23.
 
The CSR strategic plan will serve as a roadmap to advance NIH's mission-driven work in peer review over the next 5 years. The draft plan is here: if you want to look at just a couple of sections, please check out these: p.8, overview of changes CSR is implementing to ensure fairer reviews; p. 15, "Broaden the pool of reviewers and ensure that review panels are diverse on multiple dimensions" and 22, "Implement changes to the peer review process to make it more fair, effective, and efficient."
 
Peer review is fundamental to psychology's success as a science at NIH, and psychology has much to contribute to CSR's efforts to make their processes more effective. Please take a moment to share this note with colleagues who may be interested, and to help APA weigh in on behalf of psychology. 
 
Please pass this along to your division members and other scientists!!
