SAGE Student Research Award and Stephen C. Rose Scholarship for Psychology Research on African American Youth

ABPsi Student Members, we’ve got some Scholarship News just for you! 🌟 Two opportunities to fund your remarkable work.

It’s time to collect those well-deserved funds for your outstanding research. To view all the considerations and criteria for the $750 SAGE Student Research Award and $1000 Stephen C. Rose Scholarship for Psychology Research on African American Youth, visit the link in the bio: https://abpsi.site-ym.com/page/Scholarships ⬅️

And remember, the legacy of racism in the medical field, particularly in psychiatry and psychology, means that Black Americans seeking care may encounter healthcare professionals lacking the competencies and cultural humility needed for effective services. This is why it’s so vital that we support our Black Mental Health Professionals. 

These scholarships aren’t just awards; they’re a crucial part of ABPsi’s mission. Seize these opportunities to support and fund your impactful research.

Lucid 5 Call for Submissions: “Bodies” 

In its fifth year, Lucid is now ready to receive submissions from first gen students and staff at all California community colleges, Cal States, and UCs.

• care work (caregiving to children, aging or disabled populations, nurses, EMTs, school aides, ABA therapy, body work–yoga, physical therapy, massage)
• organizing bodies (protests, strikes, etc); bodies politic 
• women’s health/reproductive rights
• men’s health/negative impacts of patriarchy on the body
• race and the body
• embodied queerness, gendered/trans/non-binary bodies, and sex/sexuality
• birth, giving birth, giving/sustaining life from the body

• Impact(s) of technology and cyberspace on the body (virtual reality, avatars, online personas)
• body and media representation (in advertisements, social media, film & television)

UC Natural Reserve System field program, California Ecology and Conservation

We are now accepting applications for the Fall 2024 offering of the UC Natural Reserve System field program, California Ecology and Conservation. Applications can be found here and are due on April 25th, 2024. Please spread the word!

California Ecology and Conservation is an intensive field program which transforms students into scientists. The course is specifically tailored for students contemplating a career in ecology, conservation biology, or a related field. This fall will mark our 29th run. Since its inception in 2015, over 500 undergraduates from across the UC system have participated. 

Check out this video to get a glimpse of what students are calling the most rewarding experience in their undergraduate careers. 

Here is what some alumni have said about the experience:

            “This course has made me fall in love with the process of science!” – UC Davis student

“My research, writing, and public speaking skills have improved and I am certain that this is a result of this class.” – UC Los Angeles student

“This course has given me an in-depth understanding of scientific research that I haven’t gained anywhere else. I have learned more about what a career in this field would look like in the last 50 days than the rest of my undergraduate career.” – UC Santa Cruz student

For 50 days, 27 undergraduates from across the UC system participate in hands-on learning, gaining a familiarity with some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes the state has to offer. Students complete a series of independent research studies while learning to notice natural patterns, frame questions into feasible research projects, and practice standard field techniques. At the conclusion of each project, students analyze their data and present their findings in oral presentations and written reports. All the while, students grow as leaders, teammates, and members of a diverse and enthusiastic community of scholars.

Please distribute this email widely and share this exciting program with your students. All UC undergraduates who have a 2.5+ GPA, are in good standing with their home campus and have successfully completed an introductory biology course are eligible to apply.

We’ve attached two documents for you to share—one is a general flyer for you to print and post and the other lists how the course units map onto various degree programs at your campus. If students from majors not listed are interested in taking the course, they can petition their departments to receive credits toward their major, minor, and GE requirements.

More information is available on the course website. I am also happy to answer any questions you might have about the program and the new application system. 

Best wishes,

Citlali
