Esteemed Colleagues,
Registration is now open for the 2012 APA Convention in Orlando. Please visit http://www.apa.org/convention/index.aspx to register for this year’s Convention and secure your hotel reservations today.
The executive committee of Division 28 has put together an outstanding program for this year’s Convention (see attached program). Our theme for this year is Translational Research in Psychopharmacology and Substance Abuse. This year’s program is filled with late-breaking science, ample networking opportunities, and numerous social events. In addition to our annual Young Investigator’s Award Symposium, Med Associates Brady-Schuster Award Lecture, New Fellows Symposium, and President’s Lecture, we will be sponsoring several symposia highlighting translational research in behavioral pharmacology and substance use:
1. Contingency Management Interventions in Substance Abuse and Health
2. Triggers, Treatments, and Sex Differences in Models of Relapse and Translational Implications
3. Risk Factors for Alcohol Abuse in Females Exposed to Trauma: Translational Research
4. Psychopharmacology of Antipsychotics
5. Missing Not at Random and Missing at Random Growth Models for Substance Use Clinical Trials
We will also be partnering with our colleagues in Division 25 (Behavior Analysis) to co-sponsor two additional symposia focusing on behavioral factors contributing to substance abuse and dependence:
6. Translational Research in Impulsivity
7. Behavior Analysis for Addressing Socially Important Problems
As always, we will be partnering with our colleagues in Division 50 (Addictions) to co-sponsor five symposia dealing with addiction and addictive behavior:
8. Stimulant Medication, ADHD, and Substance Use Outcomes
9. Behavioral Economics as a Platform for Translational Research on Addiction
10. From Innovations in Neuroscience to Innovations for Adolescent Drug Abuse Treatment
10. State of the Science and Clinical Implications of Outcome Measures in Drug Abuse Treatment
12. Understanding Addictive Behaviors: Celebrating the Work and Generativity of G. Alan Marlatt
In addition to our these symposia, Division 28 will co-host a social hour (a Happy Science Hour!) with our friends in Divisions 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 54 on Wednesday night to kick off the conference. On Friday night, we will host the annual NIDA/NIAAA Young Investigators Poster Session and Social with our colleagues in Division 50. On Saturday afternoon, we will showcase the research of our junior and senior investigators in our Division 28 Poster Session, which is always a highlight of the Convention.
In addition to the events planned in Division 28, other divisions will be hosting a number of symposia, workshops, panel discussions, and invited lectures dealing with psychopharmacology and substance abuse. The Association will be hosting its annual Master Lecture Series and Presidential Lectures in topics critical to our field. Finally, our colleagues at the Science Directorate will be hosting a number of events showcasing translational research in psychology, and this year Dr. George Koob will give a keynote lecture on the Neurobiology of Addiction.
The location of this year’s Convention promises to be exciting. Orlando is home to a number of one-of-a-kind theme parks (e.g., Walt Disney World, SeaWorld Orlando, Universal Orlando). It’s also home to world-class shopping, fine dining, and numerous museums. It’s the ultimate family friendly destination, and we encourage everyone to turn your trip to this year’s Convention into a vacation to remember.
Best regards,
Mark

Graduate Students: Apply to join the APA Science Student Council
The Science Directorate is currently accepting applications to the APA Science Student Council (SSC). Formed in 1993, the SSC is a diverse group of research-oriented psychology graduate students who serve as an advisory group to the APA Science Directorate. The Council represents the interests of research-oriented students by providing valuable advice to the Directorate on how it can best serve the science student population. The Council has been actively involved in a number of projects, including awarding prizes for graduate-level research, organizing student programs for the APA Convention, writing newsletter articles about graduate student issues, learning about and participating in advocacy for psychological funding, and making recommendations on the Directorate's student programs. The Council reports to and collaborates with the Board of Scientific Affairs and works cooperatively with the American Psychological Association of Graduate Students.
The Directorate is seeking applications from graduate students to serve two-year terms beginning September 1, 2012, during which time they will be actively engaged SSC members. By the beginning of the SSC term, new members must have completed at least one year of graduate school, and have at least two years of graduate school remaining before receiving their PhD. SSC members are required to attend two weekend meetings per year in Washington, DC, at APA's expense, with the potential to attend additional optional APA governance events. In addition, SSC members are expected to remain available via e-mail during an unofficial third (non-meeting) year to advise new members (this third year can be post-doctoral).
Four (4) positions will be available on the Council for the September 2012-September 2014 term. One person in each of the following areas of research will be selected:
Potential SSC applicants are encouraged to contact current SSC members in their area of interest to discuss the positions and responsibilities. The current members contact info is available on the website.
Please note that the Council strives for diversity in all appropriate ways, including geographic diversity. Consequently, no more than one student from any given department may occupy a seat on the SSC at any given time. Please check the list of current members before applying. If you have a question about your eligibility, please contact the Science Directorate.
To apply to the SSC, please provide the following:
1. A letter of recommendation (not to exceed 500 words) emailed from the student's advisor, endorsing the nomination.
2. An essay written by the student about how s/he could contribute as a Council member, any previous related skills and experience, and why s/he would fit as a good addition to SSC (not to exceed 500 words).
3. A description written by the student about his/her research in psychology that demonstrates commitment to psychological science (not to exceed 300 words).
4. Abbreviated curriculum vitae (not to exceed two pages).
Applications are due electronically by April 26, 2012. Please submit all application materials via email. New members will be selected in the summer for terms that begin September 1, 2012.
Application materials may be submitted as Word documents, zip files or as PDFs. Please note that our e-mail system blocks files that are 10MB or larger. If you try to e-mail materials that are larger than this limit, we will not receive your e-mail.
If the sum of your files is larger than 10MB, we suggest sending each attachment in a separate e-mail.
After we receive your application materials, we will send a confirmation e-mail. If you do not receive a confirmation e-mail within two business days of sending your materials, it means that we did not receive your application (see note, above, regarding file size). Please contact us before resubmitting your materials.
Please direct questions to the APA Science Directorate by telephone (202) 336-6000 or by email.

For the third consecutive year, the Cardinal Health Foundation is inviting nonprofit organizations in seven U.S. cities and Puerto Rico to apply for grant funding to support local efforts to prevent the abuse and misuse of prescription medications.
In an effort to address the prescription drug abuse epidemic in America, the foundation encourages grassroots efforts to raise awareness and promote education and prevention of this public health issue. The grant program will provide funding to nonprofit organizations to target prescription drug misuse and abuse in their communities.
Specifically, the program is intended to reduce the misuse or abuse of prescription medications by youth, adults, and the elderly. To help achieve this goal, Cardinal Health is funding programs designed to increase awareness of the prescription drug abuse issue; knowledge of how to reduce access to prescription drugs and how to properly dispose of them; and awareness of the consequences of misusing or abusing prescription medications.
Nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations in the following cities/areas are invited to apply: Albuquerque, New Mexico;; Central Ohio; El Paso, Texas; LaVergne, Tennessee; Little Rock, Arkansas; Northern Chicago (Lake, McHenry and Kenosha counties); Radcliff, Kentucky; and Puerto Rico.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to incorporate into their proposals the use of the comprehensive suite of GenerationRx prescription drug abuse awareness materials created to provide healthcare providers, pharmacists, parents, teachers, youth group leaders, and other concerned citizens with resources to educate teens, adults, and the elderly about the realities and dangers of prescription drug abuse and misuse.
The foundation will provide up to $200,000 in grants of $5,000 to $15,000.
Complete grant program guidelines and the online application are available at the Cardinal Health Web site.
