Diversity & Inclusion Discussion: Challenges and Opportunities
Friday, November 5, 5:45 - 6:45 PM CT
Organizers: Jeanette Altarriba (University at Albany, SUNY) and Mary Peterson (University of Arizona)
Please join us for an informal discussion regarding issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion, with an aim towards understanding the issues, concerns, challenges, and opportunities that members face in this arena, as directly related to their roles within their institutions, the profession, and within the organization, overall. An exchange and dialogue seeking to uncover areas of most concern and how they can be addressed by the Society would be important to gauge the ways in which initiatives, programming, and plans can unfold over the next year, to further these discussions within our group. A
spects of the data generated by the membership regarding diversity from this year’s conference submissions will also be shared, as part of this conversation.
Lunchtime Workshops
Information Session: Funding at the National Science Foundation

NSF opportunities change all the time! Come hear the latest and get your questions answered. This presentation and Q&A session will provide information on current funding opportunities relevant to

funding; 3) The grant-writing process; and 4) Tips for writing successful proposals. Program Directors will be available to schedule one-on-one virtual meetings, to discuss specifics of your research

Basic Experimental Studies Involving Humans (BESH) session
Organized by Todd Horowitz, NIH/NCI, and Jeremy Wolfe, Brigham & Women's Hospital / Harvard Medical School
Saturday,
November 6, 12:00 - 1:30 PM CT
A few years back, the NIH definition of "clinical trial" was changed in a manner that reclassified much of our basic cognitive research into the clinical trial category. This could have had dramatic
consequences for our work. After considerable pushback, implementation of the new policy was delayed and a new category of clinical trial was created: "Basic Experimental Studies Involving Humans"
(BESH). The BESH classification also has consequences, less dire, but very real. BESH implementation has also been delayed, but it is coming, and cognitive researchers need to understand the implications
for their NIH funding. We will bring you up-to-date with the state of play at the time of the Psychonomics meeting.
