Federal funding plays a critical role in supporting life-saving research. In the recent APA Div56 newsletter, we outline how Trump policies place trauma research at risk and emphasize the importance of collective action. apatraumadivision.org/spring-2025-...

DOGE is assembling a sprawling domestic surveillance system—the likes of which we have never seen in the US. Trump could soon have the tools to satisfy his many grievances by swiftly locating compromising information about anyone he doesn't like. Our privacy laws aren't protecting us! Gift link.

Anyone looking to take an amazing clinical psych student who would come to grad school with an NSF GRFP in hand? Interests in stigma, adversity, but flexible! (Side note that it is awful that nsf doesn’t let you defer, apply next yr w/grant in hand, and just count that as 1 of 2 deferral yrs)

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
