2013 APF/COGDOP Graduate Research Scholarships: Call for applications

Please the funding opportunity below:

The American Psychological Foundation (APF) and the Council of Graduate Departments of Psychology (COGDOP) are jointly offering graduate research scholarships, including the $5,000 Harry and Miriam Levinson Scholarship, the $5,000 William and Dorothy Bevan Scholarship, the $3,000 Ruth G. and Joseph D. Matarazzo Scholarship, the $2,000 Clarence J. Rosecrans Scholarship, the $1,000 APF Peter and Malina James & Dr. Louis P. James Legacy Scholarship, the $1,000 William C. Howell Scholarship, as well as several additional $1,000 scholarships. 

The purpose of the scholarship program is to assist graduate students of psychology with research costs associated with the master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation. Eligible students are those enrolled in a doctoral program or an interim master’s program in a COGDOP member department. If a student is currently enrolled in a terminal master's program in a COGDOP member department, the student must intend to enroll in a PhD program immediately following completion of the master’s program. Students at any stage of graduate study are encouraged to apply.

Applications must be received by June 30, 2013. Visit APA's APF/COGDOP website for complete instructions and the application form.

Using mobile technologies to more rapidly and accurately assess and modify behavior, biological states and contextual variables has great potential to transform medical research. Recent advances in mobile technologies and the ubiquitous nature of these technologies in daily life (e.g., smart phones, sensors) have created opportunities for research applications that were not previously possible (e.g., simultaneously assessing behavioral, physiological, and psychological states in the real world and in real-time). The use of mobile technology affords numerous methodological advantages over traditional methods, including reduced memory bias, the ability to capture time-intensive longitudinal data, date- and time-stamped data, and the potential for personalizing information in real-time. However, challenges in mobile health (or mHealth) research exist. Importantly, much of the work being done in mHealth arises from single disciplines without integration of the behavioral, social sciences and clinical research fields. Without integration, mobile technologies will not be maximally effective. The NIH-UCLA mHealth Summer Institute addresses the scientific silos by bring together scientists from diverse fields to enhance the quality of mHealth research.

OBSSR and many NIH Institutes, Centers and Federal partners will host a Training Institute in conjunction with the University of California– Los Angeles. The training curriculum will cover the current state of the science in mobile technology and engineering, behavior change theory and clinical applications, and highlight the intersection among these areas for research related to health. Participants will take part in daily didactic sessions will target the major cross-cutting research issues and take part in small, mentored, interdisciplinary teams to develop potential mHealth research projects. Participants should expect to leave the Institute with experience creating mHealth projects in an interdisciplinary setting.
