The Online Journal of Psychology Conference Presentations (OJPCP)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Online Academic Research Incorporated, a Canadian electronic publishing
company, announced plans today to publish a series of Internet-based
academic and research journals,starting with the Online Journal of
Psychology Conference Presentations, to appear in February, 1995 on the
worldwide web (WWW). Here is some preliminary information on the Journal
...
Background
As no permanent forum exists for the publishing of Psychology conference
posters, presentations, papers, symposia and invited addresses, access to
those materials is difficult after the conference has concluded. This
journal will provide easy, economical and long-term access to these
materials, allowing other researchers and practitioners to more easily
find, review and cite presentations in this important body of work. The
journal will publish posters and other conference presentations (papers,
symposia and invited addresses) in the field of Psychology in an online
format.
Only those presentations which have been vetted by academic and
professional associations and presented at conferences, meetings and
conventions will be accepted. Conference material published in OJPCP may
be published in another journal as long as that journal publication makes
it clear that the data was presented previously at the conference and in
OJPCP.
The Journal will be a password-protected site on the World Wide Web of the
Internet, which may be accessed without long-distance charges by
subscribers worldwide using NetScape, Mosaic or other HTML browsing
software on a Mac, PC or UNIX system with Internet access at 14.4KBAUD or
faster. Subscription rates start at $75 US per year.
The home page of the Journal will offer a monthly table of contents, with
a link button on each entry leading to its abstract, and a button there
leading to the actual presentation itself for viewing online. You can
search through the presentations online by author, title, date,
conference, overall topic and keywords. You can also capture any graphics
directly in NetScape and/or download the full text of the actual
presentation (in text format) to your computer for later reading offline.
We anticipate several thousand presentations will be published in the
first year alone. While the site will maintain all posters submitted
online, we will also publish an annual CD edition (PC and Mac format) of
all presentations, to be sold separately.
Anticipated first on-line issue due: February 1996
Technical Requirements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Text for presentations should ideally be on a 3.52 floppy disk (Mac or
PC), saved in a recent version of WordPerfect, MS Word or just as a plain
ASCII text file. Graphics should also be on 3.52 Mac or PC floppy disk,
saved in any of these formats: EPS, TIFF (no higher than 150 dpi), PICT,
GIF, CGM, WMF or Lotus PIC.
If your presentation exists on paper only and not on disk, send us a clean
copy of all the pages, numbered properly. We will scan in the pages and
format them, but there will be a small additional formatting fee, based on
the complexity of the job. We will inform you on the amount when we
receive the paper materials.
Standard submission and formatting fee: $95 US.
Turnaround time: 30 days.

The McDonnell-Pew Program in Cognitive Neuroscience
Investigator-Initiated Grants 1995-1996
The McDonnell-Pew Program in Cognitive Neuroscience is a
collaborative effort established by the James S. McDonnell
Foundation, St. Louis, Missouri and The Pew Charitable Trusts,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to support research. Since its inception
in 1990, the Program has awarded $23 million in support of
institutional centers and individual investigators.
Cognitive neuroscience attempts to understand human mental
events by specifying how neural tissue carries out computations.
Work in cognitive neuroscience is multi-disciplinary, drawing on
developments in clinical and basic neuroscience, computer science,
psychology, linguistics, and philosophy.
The McDonnell-Pew Program does not support research based on
descriptions of psychological function that do not address
underlying brain mechanisms or neuroscientific descriptions that do
not speak to psychological function. Proposals to investigate basic
neurobiology unrelated to human, higher-order cognition will not
be reviewed.
The Program has two components:
1) Institutional Center grants that established large research and
training programs; all Center grants have been awarded.
2) Investigator-initiated grants supporting interdisciplinary
trainin
and providing seed funds for collaborative research.
The Program accepts investigator-initiated grants as described in
this brochure.
Program goals:
The Program will preferentially support innovative, interdisciplinary
research of the highest caliber that is unlikely to be funded from
traditional sources. The Program hopes to encourage researchers
to seek interdisciplinary training and collaborations with persons
outside their own discipline.
The Program particularly encourages research on higher cognitive
functions including, high-order vision, language, planning, and
problem-solving. The cognitive question to be studied and the
neuroscientific methods to be applied must be clearly articulated in
the research proposal.
The awards will provide a maximum of $35,000 per year for up to
3 years. Indirect costs are included in the $35,000 maximum and
cannot exceed 10% of total salaries plus fringe benefits. An
individual cannot receive support from more than one
investigator-initiated grant. The grants are non-renewable.
Examples of the types of research proposals sought by the program
include:
using neurobiological methods to study higher cognitive
processes
applying formal modeling techniques to cognitive functions,
including emotions and higher thought processes
developing new theories of the human mind/brain systems
using sensing (EEG, MEG) or imaging techniques (PET, MRI)
to observe the brain during conscious activity.
Preference will be given to training proposals that exemplify
multi-disciplinary and collaborative research as described below:
a junior scientist pursuing a research project in the
laboratory of
senior scientist in a different field of cognitive neuroscience;
collaborations between two or more scientists representing
different subdisciplines of cognitive neuroscience;
a scientist with expertise in a subdiscipline of cognitive
neuroscience obtaining hands-on training in a new methodology or
technique to be used in the study of higher cognitive function
Eligibility:
Individual investigators at institutions with McDonnell-Pew Center
grants, who are already receiving support from a McDonnell-Pew
Center grant are not eligible for the investigator-initiated grant
program. Researchers who are at institutions that have been
awarded a McDonnell-Pew Center grant but who do not receive
any support from the Center are eligible.
There are no US citizenship restrictions or requirements, nor must
the proposed work be conducted at a US institution, providing the
sponsoring organization qualifies as tax-exempt under IRS
guidelines (see the "Applications" section of this brochure).
The Program described in this brochure will not support
dissertation research, workshops, or conferences.
Application guidelines:
Applicants should submit six (6) copies of the following
information:
1) A completed cover sheet (enclosed);
2) A brief, one-page abstract describing the proposed work;
3) A brief, itemized budget that includes direct and indirect costs
(indirect costs may not exceed 10 percent of total salaries and
fringe benefits);
4) A budget justification;
5) A narrative proposal (not to exceed 5,000 words) that describes
the cognitive question to be investigated and all methodological
approaches in sufficient detail to allow the proposal to be
evaluated by the advisory board. If the application is requesting
support for training, a description of the training plan and the
relationship of the training to the applicant's research goals should
be included;
6) Curriculum vitae for each of the participating investigators;
7) An authorized document indicating clearance for the use of
human and animal subjects;
8) An endorsement letter from the officer of the sponsoring
institution who will be responsible for administering the grant.
One copy of each of the following items must also be submitted
along with the proposal. These documents can be obtained from
the sponsoring institution's grants or development office.
A copy of the IRS determination letter, or the international
equivalent, stating that the sponsoring organization is a nonprofit,
tax-exempt institution classified as a 501(c)(3) organization.
A copy of the IRS determination letter stating that the sponsoring
organization is not listed as a private foundation under section
509(a) of the Internal Revenue Service Code.
No other documents should be appended to the application.
Appended documents not specifically requested in the guidelines
will be discarded.
Submissions will be reviewed by the program's advisory board.
Applications must be received in the Foundation office on or before
February 26, 1996. Incomplete or late proposals will not be
reviewed - no exemptions will be granted. The awards will be
announced in June, 1996.
