This past summer, I sent an edited book propsectus to Swets &
Zeitlinger (S&Z) for a book tentatively entitled "Minority and
Cross-Cultural Aspects of Neuropsychological Assessment". The original
proposal specified 14 chapters and since 7/97 I have been sending
letters of
invitation to authors world-wide asking if they would like to
contribute a
chapter. As of 1/6/98 I have secured 7 of these chapters and I am
working
with S&Z to get this total to 14. The purpose of this email is to
inquire
as to whether any list members are interested in contributing a
chapter. I
will list the chapters that currently need authors. I have also
included my
address. Please contact me if you feel that you would like to
contribute.
S&Z indicated that there is a real need for this sort of book. They
also
specified that individual chapters must be very specific and based on
data
rather than opinion. Specifically, they want data to be included that
taps
into specific tests and norms. Here are the current chapters that
require
authors. Let me know of your interest ASAP. Thanks!
Chapter 1 - Introduction to Neuropsychological Assessment
Chapter 2 - Neuropsychological Assessment within different Minorities
and
Cultures
Chapter 10 - Future Directions in Neuropsychology Assessment with
Native
Americans
Chapter 11 - Current Issues in Neuropsychological Assessment with Rural
Populations
Chapter 12 - Future Directions in Neuropsychological Assessment with

Division 20 Continuing Education
Division 20 CE is now working with the Geropsychology Continuing
Education Committee that also includes members from APA Div 12-Sectn 2,
Psychologists in Long Term Care. In 1997, the committee recommended to
the Division 20 board that the focus of CE efforts be shifted from the
historical efforts to offer a pre-convention workshop to a facilitator
role that assists regional organizations in developing CE offerings.
The
committee will be encouraging institutions with the capacity to offer
CE
programs related to geropsychology to seek APA CE credits through
Division
20. The annual conferences offered by Peter Lichtenberg, Elizabeth
Olson,
and colleagues at Wayne State University serve as a model program. We
are
working toward the goal of sponsoring high quality CE offerings for
psychologists in every region of the United States.
Persons and institutions interested in applying for APA CE credits
through Division 20 sponsorship should follow the procedures outlined
below.
Procedures for Requesting Sponsorship of an Educational Offering
1) The requestor should send the following information to the Division
20
CE Chair:
- Proposed workshop title, date, amount of time
- Proposed objectives and brief outlines
- Names and addresses for each presenter, and a Vita (at least 2 pages
each)
- The name of the appropriate contact person, and contact information
2) If Division 20 decides to co-sponsor the offering, a contract will
be
sent to the contact person for signature.
3) Before the following are finalized, they need to be reviewed by the
Division 20 CE Chair:
- brochure
- evaluation forms
4) Following the educational offering, the following is to be supplied
to
the Division 20 CE Chair:
- summary of participants (#, # from each discipline)

Input Requested for Clinical Guidelines Effort
The following message asks for your input to an important project. The
Practice Guideline Coalition is a multi-disciplinary,
multi-organizational
partnership that is dedicated to better behavioral health care through
the
dissemination of clinical practice guidelines that are brief, based on
a
broad consensus about the best available, readily understandable by
practitioners, focused on core clinical processes and measurable
outcomes,
nationally disseminated, multi-disciplinary, and available in the
public
domain. Practice guidelines are coming, whether we are comfortable with
that idea or not; the PGC effort is designed to bring everyone to the
table to try to develop a consensus about the core material they should
contain. Representatives from about 45 professional and scientific
associations, behavioral health care provider groups, consumer groups,
managed care associations, and government agencies have participated so
far in the coalition building process (a partial list is given below).
By
the summer of 1998 PGC will develop two demonstration guidelines in the
areas of panic disorder and the management of chronic pain. If the
projects are successful, the PGC will be organized as a formal
membership
organization, and a more extensive program of guideline development
will
commence. All groups with missions relevant to behavioral health care
are
welcome to participate.
The purpose of this message is to ask for your help in identifying
groups that should be involved and to ask that they provide input to
the
demonstration projects (e.g., supply articles or clinical evidence,
recommend panel members) and participate in the coalition building
process. The PGC website is located at www.unr.edu/psych/pgc and
details
about the history of the coalition, and the kinds of evidence that are
being requested can be found there. If you can forward this message to
relevant officers or staff of significant groups, they can then access
the
website. If you would prefer to have the PGC staff contact a group that
you think might be interested, send a short email note about who should
be
contacted to jeng@scs.unr.edu or mail a note to the Practice Guidelines
Coalition, Department of Psychology/296, University of Nevada, Reno, NV
89557. Time is of the essence, since input on the two panels is due
shortly after the holidays and evidentiary input is due by the end of
February.
The following are the groups that have been involved up to this point
in
formal meetings regarding the coalition. Please note that no one has
been
asked yet to endorse the process and no one will be asked until
concrete
products are produced; thus these group should be viewed as interested
and
involved parties, not necessarily supporters. The list of additional
groups that have been suggested by others and have been sent materials
or
have indicated interest can be found at the website.

NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON AGING: PILOT RESEARCH GRANT PROGRAM
Release Date: January 9, 1998
PA NUMBER: PAR-98-021
P.T.
National Institute on Aging
Application Receipt Dates: March 17, 1998; July 17, 1998; November 17,
1998
PURPOSE
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is seeking small grant (R03)
Applications in specific areas to: (1) stimulate and facilitate the
entry of promising new investigators into aging research, or (2)
encourage established investigators to enter new targeted, high
priority
areas in this research field. This Small Grant (R03) Program provides
support for pilot research that is likely to lead to a subsequent
individual research project grant (R01) and /or a significant
advancement of aging research.
HEALTHY PEOPLE 2000
The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the health
promotion and disease prevention objectives of "Healthy People 2000," a
PHS-led national activity for setting priority areas. This Program
Announcement (PA), National Institute on Aging: Pilot Research Grant
Program, is related to several priority areas applicable to aging.
Potential applicants may obtain a copy of "Healthy People 2000" (Full
Report: Stock No. 017-001-00474-0 or Summary Report:
Stock
No. 017-001-00473-1) through the Superintendent of Documents,
Government
Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (telephone 202-512-1800).
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Applications may be submitted by domestic for-profit and non-profit
organizations, public and private, such as universities, colleges,
hospitals, laboratories, units of State and local governments, and
eligible agencies of the Federal government. Racial/ethnic minority
individuals, women, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to
apply as principal investigators. Foreign organizations and
institutions are not eligible. Participation in the program by
investigators at minority institutions is strongly encouraged.
New or established investigators are eligible to apply for this award.
(1) For a new investigator to be eligible the individual should be
in the first five years of his or her independent research career. If
the applicant is in the final stages of training it is permissible to
apply for an R03 but no award will be made to individuals who are still
in training or fellowship status at the time of award. (2) For an
established investigator to be eligible, the individual must propose
research that is unrelated to a currently funded research project in
which the investigator participates.
MECHANISM OF SUPPORT
Applicants may request up to $50,000 (direct costs) for one year
through
the small grant (R03) mechanism. These awards are not renewable. Before
completion of the R03, investigators are encouraged to seek continuing
support for research through a research project grant (R01).
Replacement of the Principal Investigator on this award is not
permitted.
Revisions of applications previously reviewed under this initiative but
unfunded are not permitted.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
Investigators may apply for a small grant in one of the following
areas.
Applications for support in other areas will be returned to the
proposed
Principal Investigator without review. Investigators should follow the
instructions described under APPLICATION PROCEDURES to identify the
topic on which the application is focused.
1. HIV/AIDS and aging: Behavioral, social, clinical,
neuroscientific, and/or biological research on older people infected
by,
and affected by, HIV/AIDS. Prevention sciences research is encouraged
and both basic and applied research are welcomed.
2. Racial and ethnic differences: Studies on causes of differences
among ethnic and racial groups in susceptibility to age-related disease
and dysfunction.
3. Cartilage aging/Osteoarthritis (OA): Studies of the basic
underlying mechanisms of cartilage aging, including changes in
cartilage
turnover, signal transduction and regulation of cartilage gene
expression; and pilot studies of new clinical diagnostic tools for OA
(e.g., novel imaging techniques, new or improved methods to quantitate
data from radiographs or MRI scans; and identification of potential
biochemical markers for OA).
4. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular aging: Behavioral, social,
clinical, and biological studies of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular
aging. Clinical studies include systems physiology and integrative
approaches to defining age-associated changes in the cardiovascular,
cerebrovascular, pulmonary or renal systems and how these changes
increase the risk of developing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular
disease.
5. Alternatives to estrogen therapy: Preliminary clinical studies
to explore potential therapeutic benefits, feasibility, and/or risks of
administering selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) to
middle-aged and older women and men to prevent, retard or treat a
variety of age-related disorders such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular
disease and Alzheimer?s disease. Potential therapeutics may include
pharmaceuticals or naturally occurring substances, such as
phytoestrogens.
6. Reproductive aging: Molecular and cellular mechanisms of
reproductive aging: areas include prostate growth in middle-aged and
older subjects (see PA-93-052,
Prostate Growth in Older Men: Age-dependent Mechanisms); biology of the
menopausal process (see PA-95-006, Biology of the Menopause: Change of
Ovarian Function) including molecular and cellular mechanisms
underlying
development of cardiovascular and brain pathology; and neuroendocrine
mechanisms underlying reproductive senescence.
7. Nutrient modulation: Mechanisms that underlie nutrient
modulation of cellular, tissue and organ integrity during the aging
process. This might include but is not limited to nutrient
modulation/control of cell repair and regeneration, cell-cell
signaling,
and transport mechanisms at the molecular level.
8. DNA polymorphisms: Studies to identify DNA polymorphisms in
candidate genes that may affect age-related pathologies and/or lifespan
in either human or animal models.
9. Gene expression vectors: Development and/or use of conditional
gene expression vectors for the regulation of aging- and cell-specific
gene expression.
10. Enhancing self care and management: How older people recognize
and act upon new illness symptoms and/or manage everyday chronic
conditions and how they interact with their health care providers.
Three
types of research are solicited:
1) basic research exploring the patterns, dynamics and
processes of self care behaviors practiced by older adults; 2) the
design, implementation, and evaluation of theoretically based self-care
interventions; and 3) either basic or intervention studies examining
the
nature and outcomes of older-patient/health provider medical encounters
and interactions.
11. Social and structural factors in health care: Interactions
between changing health care systems and the needs of aging persons in
an aging society:1) impact of the type of health care organization on
clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and/or provider satisfaction;
2) health and social consequences of a change in the usual source,
quality, and quantity of health care at the time of Medicare
enrollment;
3) effect of managed care's prevention model on clinical and behavioral
outcomes in an aging patient base; and 4) the dynamic interplay between
changing needs of aging persons and changing health care delivery
system
characteristics.
12. Death and dying: Research on understanding the role of family,
care providers, and relevant social institutions upon decreasing the
trauma and difficulty of end-of-life decisions. Research on the dying
process as a normal life transition within a social context is also
solicited.
13. Social psychology of aging: Interplay among psychological
processes and personal relationships in the immediate social
environment
as people age in regard to: 1) close interpersonal relationships
(friends and family) in midlife and old age; and 2) social cognition
(e.g., knowledge schemas, collaborative cognition, emotion and
motivation, self regulation, self evaluation, and attitudes and beliefs
including stereotypes and automaticity; (see PA-97-065, Social
Cognition
and Aging, NIH Guide, Vol. 26, No. 19, June 6, 1997).
14. Personality in adulthood and old age: Studies of stability and
change in personality with age; personality, health and disease;
personality and environment; personality and genetics; and age-related
differences in personality by socioeconomic class, gender, and
racial/ethnic groups.
15. Behavior genetics and aging: Suggested areas for behavior
genetics and aging research in both humans and animals include
attention, processing speed, memory, intelligence, training,
emotionality, sense of control, motivation, and temporal organization.
16. Sensory and motor processing: Mechanisms underlying changes in
sensory and motor processing in the aging nervous system and in sensory
receptors.
17. Attention and frontal lobe function: Studies of neural
mechanisms of age-related changes in attention and frontal lobe
executive processes. Development of specific behavioral tasks of
attention and other areas of cognition for use in evaluation of animal
models generated through genetic and molecular manipulations.
18. Neuronal tissue RNA metabolism: Regulation of RNA metabolism in
cells of the nervous system during aging and in age-related
neurological
disorders.
19. Sleep and circadian processes: Mechanisms underlying changes in
sleep and circadian processes in older organisms. Studies at the
molecular and cellular level are encouraged.
20. Blood-brain barrier: Research on changes that occur at the
molecular level in the blood brain barrier, especially its transport
mechanisms, with age and age-related diseases.
21. Amyloid precursor protein: Studies of the normal function of the
CNS amyloid precursor protein. Studies of the amyloid beta
protein are excluded.
22. Pathogenic organisms: Susceptibility of the aging nervous system
to pathogenic organisms, and neural, neuroendocrine and immune system
mechanisms and pathways modulating the aging immune system in response
to such challenges.
23. Non-neuronal cells in the nervous system: Studies on the
function and plasticity of neuroglial/non-neuronal cells in aging that
examine cellular and molecular factors controlling cell activation,
death, regional specificity, receptor and transport activities, and
mitochondrial alterations.
24. Genetic epidemiology: Preliminary genetic epidemiologic research
on longevity, active life expectancy, or slow rate of progression of
age-related pathologies. Examples include analyses of existing
familial, demographic, and/or epidemiologic data for feasibility and
power calculations; pilot testing of proband-identification and
recruitment strategies; identifying families with high frequencies of
these traits; determining the frequency of known polymorphisms, and/or
estimating their contribution to the phenotype of interest. (See also
program announcement on Secondary Analysis in Demography and Economics
of Aging.)
25. Vaccines and immune response: Preliminary clinical studies
designed to contribute to the improvement of vaccines for use in
elderly
populations. These may include studies of methods to improve the immune
response in older persons including alternate immunization schedules
with existing vaccines or the use of new vaccines. Human clinical
studies designed to characterize age-related immune dysfunction are
also
appropriate as they may contribute to the identification of potentially
correctable deficiencies.
26. Cancer and aging: Studies on the current and future magnitude of
the cancer problem for persons aged 80 years and older regarding
incidence, survival, and clinical impact. Topics include: Approaches to
overcoming the practical problems of acquiring data on this age segment
of cancer patients; tumor-related tissue studies, autopsy
investigations, characterization of cancer as it interfaces with other
chronic diseases prominent in the elderly. Development of clinical
assessment tools(i.e., prognostic indicators for patient evaluation and
work-up) that can be used by physicians to determine the patient?s
overall physical and physiologic health status may be included in this
solicitation.
The National Institute on Aging will modify the selected topic
areas annually by reissuing the program announcement. Information on
other initiatives supported by NIA may be found at the following
internet address: http://www.nih.gov/nia.

The goals of NIH-supported research are to advance our understanding of
biological systems, improve the control of disease, and enhance health.
In the written review, comments on the following aspects of the
application will be made in order to judge the likelihood that the
proposed research will have a substantial impact on the pursuit of
these
goals. Each of these criteria will be addressed and considered in the
assignment of the overall score.
1. Significance. Does this study address an important problem? If
the aims of the application are achieved, how will scientific knowledge
be advanced? What will be the effect of these studies on the concepts
or methods that drive this field?
2. Approach. Are the conceptual framework, design, methods, and
analyses adequately developed, well-integrated, and appropriate to the
aims of a pilot project? Does the applicant acknowledge potential
problem areas and consider alternative tactics?
3. Innovation. Does the project employ novel concepts, approaches
or method?
Are the aims original and innovative? Does the project challenge
existing paradigms or develop new methodologies or technologies?
4. Investigator. Is the investigator appropriately trained and
well suited to carry out this work? Is the work proposed appropriate to
the experience level of the principal investigator and other
researchers
(if any)?
5. Environment. Does the scientific environment in which the work
will be done contribute to the probability of success? Do the proposed
experiments take advantage of unique features of the scientific
environment or employ useful collaborative arrangements? Is there
evidence of institutional support?
The initial review group will also examine: the likelihood that
the pilot project will lead to the development of an R01 application,
or
significant advancement of aging research; the appropriateness of
proposed project budget and duration; the adequacy of plans to include
both genders and minorities and their subgroups as appropriate for the
scientific goals of the research and plans for the recruitment and
retention of subjects; the provisions for the protection of human and
animal subjects; and the safety of the research environment.

Call for Papers
Proposal for a Special Section of the International
Journal of Behavioral Development on:
Cognition in Everyday Life:
Adult Developmental Aspects
Special Section Editors: Fredda Blanchard-Fields and Christopher
Hertzog
Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
Although much of the research on cognition in adulthood and aging
focuses
on structures and mechanisms behind changes in cognitive abilities, an
increasingly important area of study is cognition in natural (everyday)
contexts. In many cases the nature of cognition in real-world contexts
is
shaped by development and related variables. For example, age-related
increases in experience during adulthood may be used to offset
age-related
declines in cognitive abilities like working memory capacity.
Age-related
increases in the ability to regulate emotional responses or to
comprehend
the emotional reactions of others may lead to more effective strategies
for
resolving social dilemmas. In other cases, psychologists must evaluate
adult developmental changes and cohort differences in knowledge and
mechanisms in order to understand behavior of persons of specific ages:
e.g., older adults' aversion to the use of automatic bank teller
machines.
The purpose of this special section is to publish papers that capture
the
adult developmental aspects of cognition in everyday life. No limits
are
placed on the cognitive domain researched. All papers submitted for
this
special section should follow the instructions published in the recent
issue of this journal as "Notes to Authors". Four copies of each
manuscript must be received by May 1, 1998. All correspondence
regarding
this section should be sent to:
