FUNDING OPPORTUNITY - NEW GUIDELINES FOR 2007!

James S. McDonnell? Foundation 21st Century Science Initiative - 2007 Research Award Application Deadline: 5:59 PM CST on Monday March 12, 2006

The James S. McDonnell? Foundation (JSMF) announces updated program descriptions and application guidelines for its 21st Century Science Initiative Research Awards. The 21st Century Research Awards support investigator-initiated research in two (2) topical areas: Studying Complex Systems and Brain Cancer Research*. Program information,application guidelines, and proposal preparation instructions are available at: http://www.jsmf.org/apply/research. No geographic restrictions; international applications are encouraged.

*PLEASE NOTE: Beginning in 2007 Research Awards will no longer be funded in the topical area Bridging Brain, Mind, and Behavior. To support research spanning mind/brain JSMF will post guidelines for a completely new award category The James S. McDonnell? Scholar Awards in January 2007. Deadline for applications for JSM Scholars is expected to be early April 2007.

New Guideline Effective January 1, 2007: Institutions sponsoring an application on behalf of a particular principal investigator to JSMF programs (Research Awards or Collaborative Activity Awards) can only submit ONE application every 3 years ON BEHALF OF THE NAMED PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR. When an investigator submits a letter of inquiry to the Collaborative Activity Award or a proposal for a Research Award in CY 2007 and the proposal is not funded, the next period of eligibility for that particular investigator and the proposal would begin in CY 2010. This policy is not intended to limit the number of applications from an institution. The intent of the policy is to encourage investigators and institutions to carefully consider the goodness of fit between a Nproposal and the goals of JSMF programs prior to submitting.

Information on the Foundation's 21st Century Collaborative Activity Awards is also available on the website. Thank you for your interest.

****************************************************************************************************** Announcing a New Journal (Conference/Symposium/Event) Jeff Zacks, Film Studies, University of Michigan

Projections: The Journal for Movies and Mind is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that explores the ways in which recent advancements in fields such as psychoanalysis, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, genetics and evolution help to increase our understanding of film, and how film itself facilitates investigations into the nature and functions of the mind. The journal also incorporates articles on the visual arts and new technologies related to film. The aims of the journal are to explore these subjects, facilitate a dialogue between people in the sciences and the humanities, and bring the study of film to the forefront of contemporary intellectual debate. The first issue of the journal, which is published twice a year, will appear this summer. For information about subscriptions please go to the journal’s web site at http://www.berghahnbooks.com/journals/proj. The journal welcomes essays, from 5000-8,000 words, for possible publication.

****************************************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS - due Sept., 2007 (Conference/Symposium/Event) crossing disciplinary boundaries - Neurosci/ genetics/ imagi, Society/ culture/ cognition/ emotions/ perception/ motor, APA journal DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY

Developmental Psychology invites manuscripts for a special issue on the Interplay of Biology and Environment broadly defined. We want papers that have the potential to change or challenge how developmental psychologists think by gaining new insights into any of the following:

• How Experience affects Mind, Brain, and Gene Expression throughout Development (e.g., how early experience can change gene expression) • Genetic Mediation of Environmental Effects on Mind and Body during Development (e.g., how similar experiences can have different effects because of the genotypes of those undergoing the experiences) • How Social Relations affect Cognition, Perception, and Emotional and Physical Health (e.g., neuroimaging evidence of the effect of social connectedness or isolation on the brain during development) • Neuroscientific Insights into Cognitive, Perceptual, Emotional, and Social Processes during Development (e.g., evidence that neural systems recruited to do the same chore changes over development) • Interrelations between Physical Health and Mental Health (Cognitive and Emotional) during Development (e.g., work in developmental psycho-neuro-immunology) • How Emotions Affect Brain Function (and hence Cognition and Perception) and Physical Health during Development (e.g., evidence that one’s emotional state affects the way the brain processes stimuli even from earliest infancy)

***We would particularly like to encourage submissions from people in disciplines outside of developmental psychology whose interdisciplinary work holds important implications for understanding developmental processes.***

For this Special Issue we are NOT interested in papers that teach us a new fact, or facts, without potentially challenging how we think about things. For example, we are NOT interested in papers “simply” reporting the neural correlates of a cognitive or emotional process. We are NOT interested in papers “simply” reporting a relation between a genotype and a behavior. We are most interested in papers that describe a body or line of work.

Initial inquiries regarding the special section may be e-mailed to Adele Diamond, Associate Editor, at Adele.Diamond@ubc.ca.

The submission deadline is September 30, 2007. Review papers, empirical reports, and theoretical papers are all encouraged. The main text of empirical reports should not exceed 20 double-spaced pages (approximately 5,000 words), in addition to figures, tables, references, and/or appendixes. Review papers can be longer.

The formal submissions must be submitted through the electronic portal of Developmental Psychology. Please be sure to specify in the cover letter that your submission is intended for the special section. http://www.jbo.com/jbo3/submissions/dsp_jbo.cfm?journal_code=dev
