  psychological scientists participating in the 3rd Annual Science Leadership
  Conference (SciLC) traveled to Capitol Hill on Monday, October 15, in the
  largest-ever APA advocacy effort on behalf of science; the Food and Drug
  Administration chose, and received acceptances from, the 15 initial voting
  members of FDA's Risk Communication Advisory Committee--one of APA's nominees,
  Dr. Baruch Fischhoff, Howard Heinz University Professor in the Department of
  Social and Decision Sciences and Department of Engineering and Public Policy
  at Carnegie Mellon University, was appointed Chair; the Senate approved an
  amendment cosponsored by Senators Mikulski (D-MD) and Hutchison (R-TX) that
  would add $1 billion to NASA's FY08 budget, offering the first step in
  addressing NASA's mounting fiscal pressures; the House Energy and Commerce
  Subcommittee on Health held a long-awaited hearing on H.R. 1108, the Family
  Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which would give the Food and
  Drug Administration (FDA) control over the regulation of tobacco products;
  NIH has asked scientific societies to provide vetted lists of potential peer
  reviewers; NIH is undertaking an effort to attract additional applications for
  its five Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs), which pay up to $35,000 per year of
  qualified educational debt as well as the corresponding federal taxes for
  post-doctoral scientists as they pursue research careers; and NIH is seeking
  input from the scientific community, health professionals, patient advocates,
  and the general public about current and emerging priorities in basic Behavioral
  and Social Sciences Research (bBSSR) that may offer potential for improving and
  accelerating health research and its impact on the health of the Nation. (PsycEXTRA Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved)
