Title and Description
Graduate Psychology Education (GPE) Program

Funding Opportunity Number: HRSA-19-002

CFDA: 93.191

See Details at:


The purpose of this program is to train doctoral health psychology students, interns, and post-doctoral residents to provide integrated, interdisciplinary, behavioral health and Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and other Substance Use Disorder (SUD) 2 prevention and treatment services in high need and high demand areas. The program also supports faculty development of health service psychology. For purposes of this NOFO, high need and high demand areas are identified by two defined sources:

• County of experiential training site location has less than 10 licensed psychologists per 100,000 population as found in the APA County Level Analysis of US Licensed Psychologists

• Experiential training site is located in a Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) or that are Facility Mental HPSAs with a score of 16 or above as found in the HPSA Find Tool. The overarching goal of the program is to prepare and build capacity of the doctoral health psychology workforce, to provide mental/behavioral health care, including OUD and other SUD prevention and treatment services, in high need and high demand areas.
 
Additional Eligibility
Eligible entities are APA-accredited doctoral schools and programs of health service psychology, APA-accredited doctoral internships in professional psychology, and APA-accredited post-doctoral residency programs in practice psychology.

Call for User Proposals: High-Impact Nanoscience Research

Submission Deadline: 05/01/2019


The  Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences  (CNMS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is soliciting proposals for user-initiated nanoscience research that will make effective use of CNMS facilities and staff expertise. The CNMS nanoscience research program provides users with access to a broad range of capabilities for nanomaterials design, synthesis, characterization, and theory/modeling/simulation and access is provided at no cost to users for research that is in the public domain and intended for publication in the open literature.

Scientifically high-impact proposals are sought that take advantage of any of the following CNMS research capabilities:
  • Macromolecular Nanomaterials
  • Chemical Imaging
  • Functional Hybrid Nanomaterials
  • Nanomaterials Theory Institute
  • Scanning Probe Microscopy
  • Nanofabrication Research Laboratory
  • Bio-Inspired Nanomaterials
  • Electron & Atom Probe Microscopy
  • Opportunity to request beamtime for Neutron Scattering

Proposal Development
The CNMS website provides detailed descriptions of specific CNMS Research Capabilities that are offered to users, and this list of capabilities is duplicated in checklist form on the downloadable  CNMS User Proposal Form . Prospective users  are invited and strongly encouraged  to contact CNMS  staff members  in the respective research areas to discuss their proposal ideas and learn more about the specific capabilities of interest to them.
 
The  deadline for submission  of user research proposals is  May 1, 2019.   Please review the Guidelines for Submission of a CNMS User Research Proposal (below) and the  Instructions for Submitting a Proposal . Approved projects will be granted access to CNMS facilities during the period  August 1, 2019  through  July 31, 2020 .
Guidelines for Submission of a CNMS User Research Proposal

Content: Each user proposal must describe clearly and  specifically  which part of the work is to be done using CNMS facilities: What CNMS tools and expertise will be needed to carry out which steps and on what timeline? Each user proposal must also clearly define the expected outcomes from the CNMS component: What are the targets or milestones that the CNMS contribution must meet in order for the overall research project to succeed? Please keep in mind that you are proposing a  specific  user project; describe the overall research program only so far as is necessary to establish the context and impact of the user proposal. See  Tips for Writing a Competitive User Proposal .  
NOTE: User proposals must not contain any proprietary or sensitive information.

Proposals that require capabilities from more than one area are encouraged, as are requests for theory/modeling/simulation support for experimental projects.

Proposals will be reviewed by selected members of the   CNMS Proposal Review Committee  using evaluation criteria adopted by the IUPAP in its recommendations on the operation of user facilities. Please see the  Review Criteria for CNMS Research Proposals .

Prospective users are encouraged to contact one of the   staff members  listed for each set of related research capabilities to discuss the suitability of any particular CNMS capability for the proposed research. General questions about the proposal process can be directed to the CNMS User Program Director,  Brad Lokitz . 

HANDS 2019 Workshop
Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in conjunction with North Carolina State University, and support from the National Science Foundation and the Shull Wollan Center — a Joint Institute for Neutron Scattering, celebrates a decade of neutron scattering education in structural biology at ORNL with the  HFIR/SNS Advanced Neutron Diffraction and Scattering workshop (HANDS 2019).
 
Detailed information can be found on the workshop web page: 

Application deadline:  April 29, 2019
Fellowships to support travel and accommodation are available. No registration fee.
 
The workshop aims at enabling structural biologists to fully exploit the latest instrumentation and software development at the SNS and HFIR facilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Participants of HANDS 2019 will become familiar with neutron techniques with  hands-on experiments  in sample preparation, crystallography, small angle scattering, reflectometry and neutron spin echo. The workshop is designed for  graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty  with limited to no experience with neutron sciences.
