The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has a long history of supporting research to enhance the scientific understanding
of and effective interventions for a range of problems associated with children’s exposure to violence. Recently, funded research
has improved our understanding of the nature and consequences of children’s exposure to violence. This article describes an
NIH initiative for research on children’s exposure to violence, examples of projects supported by the initiative, and emerging
research topics for this important scientific area.

This paper deals with emerging kinds of collaboration between researchers, funding agencies and ICT (Information and Communications
Technology) experts. The goal of this paper is to analyze the challenges and opportunities for researchers presented by such
collaborations. The analysis is based on a sociocultural approach, and leads to the following conclusions: (a) the main challenges
to collaboration arise from the fact that partners’ communities have different goals and use different sets of mediation tools,
(b) there are different ways for researchers to cope with more powerful partners such as major funding agencies (refusing
collaboration, pseudo collaboration, asymmetric collaboration, and real partnership), (c) appropriation of mediation tools
developed by partners could be useful for researchers, (d) collaboration with partners could be a source of new theoretically
interesting phenomenon, and (e) communication with partners who are not familiar with our routine discourses might help us
to improve our own understanding.
Aleksandar Baucal is an Assistant Professor in Developmental Psychology at the University of Belgrade. His main theoretical and empirical interest is co-construction between human development and development of socio-cultural context. At the theoretical level he is searching for integration of different theoretical traditions within a Vygotskian socio-cultural approach. His current researches deal with construction of new competences during interaction with others based on innovative methodology integrating both quantitative and qualitative techniques. 相似文献

Over the past decade, public funding for Couple and Relationship Education programs has expanded. As program administrators have been able to extend their reach to low‐income individuals and couples using this support, it has become apparent that greater numbers of relationally distressed couples are attending classes than previously anticipated. Because psychoeducational programs for couples have traditionally served less distressed couples, this dynamic highlights the need to examine the policy and practice implications of more distressed couples accessing these services. This paper reviews some of the most immediate issues, including screening for domestic violence and couple needs, pedagogical considerations, and the potential integration of therapy and education services. We also make suggestions for future research that can inform policy and practice efforts. 相似文献

This article is a personal reflection by an investigator with over 25 years of funding from the National Institutes of Health
(NIH). The article: (1) highlights research opportunities for psychologists at the NIH outside of the traditional mental health
arena; (2) provides specific recommendations to individual investigators to enhance their likelihood of obtaining NIH funding;
(3) specifies needed changes in psychology’s research education and training programs to prepare the next generation of psychologists
for research success; and (4) asks the Association of Psychologists in Academic Health Centers to play a lead role in both
research training and advocacy.
This article is based on a presentation given at the 3rd national conference of the Association of Psychologists in Academic
Health Centers in May of 2007 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 相似文献

Revolutionary and Familiar, Inevitable and Precarious: Rhetorical Contradictions in Enthusiasm for Nanotechnology 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Robert Sparrow 《Nanoethics》2007,1(1):57-68
This paper analyses rhetorics of scientific and corporate enthusiasm surrounding nanotechnology. I argue that enthusiasts
for nanotechnologies often try to have it both ways on questions concerning the nature and possible impact of these technologies,
and the inevitability of their development and use. In arguments about their nature and impact we are simultaneously informed
that these are revolutionary technologies with the potential to profoundly change the world and that they merely represent
the extension of existing technologies. They are revolutionary and familiar. In debates surrounding possible regulation of these technologies it is claimed both that their development is inevitable,
so that regulation would be fruitless, and that increased research funding and legislative changes are necessary in order
that we can enjoy their benefits. That is, they are inevitable and precarious. An increased awareness of these rhetorical contradictions may allow us better to assess the likely impact and
future of nanotechnology.

While their strength, electrical, optical, or magnetic properties are expected to contribute a trillion dollars in global commerce before 2015, nanomaterials also appear to pose threats to human health and safety. Nanotoxicology is the study of these threats. Do nanomaterial benefits exceed their risks? Should all nanomaterials be regulated? Currently nanotoxicologists cannot help answer these questions because too little is known about nanomaterials, because their properties differ from those of bulk materials having the same chemical composition, and because they differ so widely in their applications. Instead, this paper answers a preliminary ethical question: What nanotech policies are likely to contribute to society’s ability to give or withhold free informed consent to the potential risks associated with production and use of nanomaterials? This paper argues that at least four current policies appear to jeopardize the risk-disclosure condition that is required for informed consent. These are the funding problem, the conflict-of-interest problem, the labeling problem, and the extrapolation problem. Apart from future decisions on how to ethically make, use, and regulate nanomaterials, this paper argues that, at a minimum, these four policies must be modified. Government must spend greater monies on nanotoxicology; ensure independent nanotoxicology research; label consumer products containing nanomaterials; and avoid assuming that nanotoxicological properties are based merely on mass and chemical composition. Otherwise free informed consent to these new technologies and materials may be jeopardized. 相似文献

Sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing a growth in the number of children who need formal alternative care. One of the principal factors contributing to this is orphanhood. While most orphans live with their extended families, many end up in privately-run orphanages that operate outside of the government's regulation and funding. Without government assistance and being the most costly care option, the orphanages have to come up with mechanisms to get the finances that they need. However, relatively little evidence exists on the funding streams of orphanages in sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on the literature from Ghana and other low-income countries, the study explores the funding of orphanages and its implications for orphans in Ghana. The evidence from the literature shows that the funding for most orphanages comes from donations by private organisations and individuals, mostly from the developed world. This funding system is generally unsustainable and carries negative ramifications for the social-emotional progress and rights of orphans residing in orphanages, such as abuse, unnecessary institutionalisation, and stigma. Policy and practice recommendations include increasing government's subsidy to the orphanages, regulating donations to and volunteering in orphanages, and helping unlicensed orphanages to transition to the provision of family-strengthening services. 相似文献
