APA’s Early Career and Graduate Student Affairs and the American Psychological Association of Graduate Students (APAGS) Committee are pleased to announce this call for nominations. Our newly developed Leadership Development Fellowship for Graduate Students in APA Divisions seeks to offer additional models for leadership development APA Divisions; create strong graduate student candidates for service to Divisions and APA boards and committees, and particularly to the APA Council of Representatives when they become early career psychologists; and raise the visibility and importance of graduate students within Divisions and APA at large.

The fellowship is a package consisting of four elements:

SIOP is pleased to announce the release of the Overview of Federal Funding Opportunities for Behavioral and Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities, prepared by our government relations partners at Lewis-Burke Associates, LLC. Current SIOP members can access the report here.

Lewis Burke works closely with the ad hoc Government Relations Advocacy Team (GREAT Committee), chaired by Alexander Alonso, Chief Knowledge Officer, Knowledge Development & Certification for SHRM. He said, “Members will benefit from reviewing the document as it will provide a clear overview of Congressional priorities involving social science and general science funding. It will also provide background on the annual federal cycle for funding.”

“The federal research enterprise is quite extensive. If you know which agencies support your topics, it’s easy to stay on top of their interests,” said SIOP’s Research and Science Officer Steve W.J. Kozlowski, Professor of Organizational Psychology at Michigan State University. “But, if you don’t have a lot of experience, you might not know where to start or how to search out opportunities.”

Submit your organizations analytics challenges to the 3^rd annual SIOP Machine Learning Competition. Have hundreds of academics, practitioners, and students compete in the creation of open source solutions for your organization’s analytic challenges.

We are specifically looking for (a) the toughest analytics problems that matter to you and (b) data setsthat can be used to build solutions for those problems. If you have good ideas or good data sets, please connect!
