Office of Applied Psychological Science
by Stephanie Johnson

In our continuing efforts to build the Office of Applied Psychological Science we are seeking your help again. It is critical that we as psychologists and members of APA promote the many contributions that applied psychological research scientists continue to make within the field of psychology. To this end, we are asking you to send us your thoughts on what are the "hot topics” in applied psychological science. We are aware that applied research within psychology is diverse and this is exactly what makes this aspect of psychology unique. The information that you provide will be used to inform the applied science community of current research topics of interest. The new and improved applied psychological science web-link, now under construction, will have a section titled "Hot Topics” in applied psychological science where this information will appear.

If you or someone you know is working on an exciting project within the area of applied psychological science, please send the name of the researcher and the focus of the project to Stephanie Johnson. Please feel free to forward any manuscripts, book chapters, or articles that highlight ANY new or exciting research findings within applied psychological science. We appreciate your ideas as we continue to develop this new office within the Science Directorate.
