Please join us in congratulating Kira Wegner-Clemens who was notified that she is the recipient of the NIH F31 Ruth L. Kirschstein Predoctoral Individual National Research Service Award! Her proposal is titled "Neural mechanisms of semantic guidance of audiovisual attention." Drs. Dwight and Shomstein are co-sponsors on this application.
Congratulations, Kira on getting this prestigious award!
Former ASP graduate and current researcher at GW, Dr. Ana María del Río-González, receives the 2022 NIH Sexual and Gender Minority Research Early-Stage Investigator Award. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM) Research Investigator Awards Program was developed to recognize investigators who have made substantial and outstanding research contributions in areas related to SGM health. Well done and congratulations!
Please join us in congratulating Applied Social Psychology faculty member, Dr. Lisa Bowleg, who learned last week that NIH has funded a 2-year administrative supplement to my NIDA-funded R01 study, Reducing Black Men's Drug Use and Co-Occurring Negative Mental and Physical Health Outcomes: Intersectionality, Social-Structural Stressors, and Protective Factors. The goal of the administrative supplement is to increase the number of Black bisexual men participants and establish bisexual men as a distinct sexual minority position.
Clinical Psychology program faculty member, Dr. Jody Ganiban, was awarded a one year NOSI supplement for her work on "Investigating the Magnification of Psychosocial Adversities for Children in the Time of COVID-19".
Dr. Cecilia Liu, a postodoctoral fellow working with Dr. Ganiban, successfully secured a 2-year NIH supplement for her work on "Identifying Dynamic Change Processes in Growth Trajectories from Infancy to Early Adolescence.”
Congrats to all on these funding successes!
