This isn't very focused, in part because he is a local "mover and shaker" who has to confront all sorts of issues on a daily basis -- the delivery of health services to the poor, the organizational convulsions produced by the managed care environment, declining support for academic medical centers, etc. My goal is to help him move toward a more social scientific perspective on these issues and to expose him to good quality monographs and readings that will serve as models for thinking about an empirically-based, policy-relevant, social science dissertation. I would appreciate any suggestions you have for readings that might serve these purposes. You may reply privately, if you wish, and if I receive numerous suggestions, I'll post the list to the listserve for everyone's benefit.

I had deleted this message as soon as I read it. I couldn't conceive of a 7-year-old knowing about chain letters, never mind requesting one as her dying wish. And if one of her desires was to let people know about her condition, this was a pretty lame attempt, as the stated diagnosis did not even name a specific condition, nor was anyone informed of any medical condition by this letter. However, I did call the American Cancer Society (whose e-mail address is NOT acs@aol.com) at their national headquarters (800/227-2345). I was told that this was one of two scams circulating on the internet, that this was not the way the American Cancer Society works (they would never be involved with chain letters, nor would other legitimate causes, in their opinion). They asked in the future that if there is any question that they should call to verify before participating in such a thing. This causes a nuisance for the organization rather than assisting it, tying up resources that could be spent serving those with cancer, disseminating information and services, responding to patients' needs and research proposals and results. As medical sociologists, we should ask ourselves whether it is necessary to close down our minds whenever we open up our hearts. It is imperative that we think and care at the same time. Jeanne A.B.

National Institute on Aging PURPOSE The Behavioral and Social Research Program (BSR) of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) is seeking small grant (R03) applications to stimulate and facilitate research in underdeveloped topics in the behavioral and social sciences of aging. This Small Grant (R03) Program provides support for pilot research that is likely to lead to a subsequent individual research project grant (R01) or a First Independent Research Support and Transition (FIRST) (R29) award application and/or a significant advancement of aging research. These R03 projects include, but are not limited to, research which is innovative and/or high risk. HEALTHY PEOPLE 2000 The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the health promotion and disease prevention objectives of "Healthy People 2000," a PHS-led national activity for setting priority areas. This Program Announcement, "Pilot grants (R03) in behavioral and social science of aging," is related to is related to several priority areas applicable to aging. Potential applicants may obtain a copy of "Healthy People 2000" (Full Report: Stock No. 017-001-00474-0) or "Healthy People 2000" (Summary Report: Stock No. 017-001-00473-1) through the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (telephone 202-783-3238). ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS Applications may be submitted by domestic for-profit and non-profit organizations, public and private, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, laboratories, units of State and local governments, and eligible agencies of the Federal government. Racial/ethnic minority individuals, women, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply as principal investigators. Foreign organizations and institutions are not eligible. Participation in the program by investigators at minority institutions is strongly encouraged. To be eligible for this award, the proposed Principal Investigator must, at a minimum, be an independent investigator at the beginning of her/his research career as defined by the eligibility requirements for a FIRST (R29) award. That is, they should be genuinely independent of a mentor. Individuals in the final stages of training may apply, but individuals can not be in a training status at the time the award is made. Established investigators proposing research unrelated to a currently funded research program are also eligible to apply for these grants. MECHANISM OF SUPPORT Applicants may request up to $50,000 (direct costs) for one year through the small grant (R03) mechanism. However, the grants will be awarded under Expanded Authorities and are eligible for a single one-year no cost extension. These awards are not renewable. Before completion of the R03, investigators are encouraged to seek continuing support for research through a research project grant (R01) or FIRST (R29) award. Replacement of the Principal Investigator on this award is not permitted. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES The Small Grant program is designed to support new, junior, and established behavioral and social science researchers interested in conducting research on underdeveloped topics in the behavioral and social sciences of aging. Collection of new data or secondary analysis of existing data is allowed. Topics of interest are limited to the eight topics described below: Social Cognition in Adulthood and Old Age Social cognition is the intersection between cognitive and social gerontology. Research on cognitive aging suggests that social reasoning and social comprehension are largely spared from deleterious aging processes. In fact, there is a small but growing body of evidence that points to the potential for developmental gains in cognitive performance when embedded in social contexts. Topic areas include, but are not limited to: metacognition, collaborative cognition, emotion and motivation, interpersonal relationships, life transitions, self regulation, self evaluation, and attitudes and beliefs including stereotypes and automaticity. Personality in Adulthood and Old Age Considerable data suggest that personality is stable during adulthood, although other data suggest that personality changes across the life span. Results vary as a function of sample, when personality is measured and the particular constructs measured. Topic areas include, but are not limited to: studies of stability and change in personality with age; personality, health and disease; personality and environment; personality and genetics; and age-related differences in personality by socioeconomic class, gender, and racial/ethnic groups. Behavior Genetics and Aging Molecular genetics research has begun to identify specific genes associated with behavior. This domain includes both single-gene traits and complex traits influenced by multiple genes as well as multiple environmental factors. Most geneticists agree that complex behaviors are not likely to be genetically simple. One research approach is the one-gene one-disorder or OGOD method in which many complex behaviors or disorders are assumed to result from many smaller behaviors, each the result of a different single gene which is a necessary and sufficient cause. Another approach is the quantitative trait loci or QTL method which assumes that genetic influence on complex behaviors and disorders is largely due to multiple genes with effects of varying sizes which contribute cumulatively and interchangeably. These new techniques can track the developmental course of genetic contributions to behavior, identify genetic heterogeneity, and explore genetic links between the normal and abnormal. Properly designed studies can also identify the importance of nongenetic factors. Some areas of opportunities for behavior genetics and aging research in both humans and animals include attention, processing speed, memory, intelligence, training, emotionality, sense of control, motivation, attention, and temporal organization.

Interventions to Enhance Self Care in Older People Although the linkage between health behaviors and lifestyles to a wide range of health outcomes is now well documented, less is known about the development, maintenance, and modification of such behaviors over the life course. While calling for small scale research on the wide range of self care behaviors, this solicitation gives special encouragement to medical self-care--or how older people recognize and act upon new illness symptoms and/or manage everyday chronic conditions. Two types of research are solicited: 1) basic research exploring the patterns, dynamics and processes of self care behaviors practiced by older adults, and 2) the design, implementation, and evaluation of theoretically based self-care interventions to encourage the adoption of new health behaviors or to modify health impairing habits and lifestyles. Religiousness in Health and Aging Religiousness, whether defined as spiritual beliefs or organizational affiliation, is consistently associated with better well-being and increased longevity for elders. Research projects are invited that encourage a better understanding of the complex interrelationships among religious variables (beliefs or behaviors), other psychosocial mediating factors (e.g., health beliefs or coping styles), and health and functioning throughout the life course. Several specific research topics were identified in a 1995 NIA/Fetzer Conference on Methodological Advances in Religion, Health and Aging. Two are of special interest: 1) the biopsychosocial mechanisms by which religion, spirituality and/or religious affiliations may affect health and 2) the development of rigorous, but parsimonious scales and indices that can be embedded in more general studies of health and aging. AIDS in an Aging Society The behavioral and social implications of AIDS for the middle-aged and older population have been largely ignored. This is despite the fact that people fifty and older have constituted approximately ten percent of the reported AIDS cases since the beginning of the epidemic, and that AIDS has become a major public health problem affecting people of all ages. Research is recommended on a variety of topics, including, but not limited to: 1) the social epidemiology of older people at risk, including transmission routes for those 50 and older; 2) factors affecting quality of life for older persons with HIV/AIDS and their families; 3) interventions to change older people's AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors; 4) behavioral and social strategies for helping older people enhance their AIDS-related caregiving capacities (e.g., care for adult children or grandchildren); and 5) interrelationships between HIV/AIDS and changing health care structures.

Social and Structural Factors in Health Care The basic thrust of this initiative is to understand the complex interactions between changing health care systems and the needs of aging persons in an aging society. The fluid organization and financing of health care, coupled with the health care needs of the growing U.S. older population will alter many features of health care delivery both for providers and for patients. Research topics in this area include, but are not limited to: 1) impact of the type of health care organization (e.g., structure, reimbursement mechanism, organizational control, and professional control) on clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and/or provider satisfaction; 2) differences between "real" clinical outcomes and "perceived" outcomes in the elderly based on organizational characteristics; 3) health and social consequences of a change in the usual source, quality and quantity of health care at the time of Medicare enrollment; 4) effect of managed care's prevention model on clinical and behavioral outcomes in an aging patient base; and 5) the dynamic interplay between changing needs of aging persons and changing health care delivery system characteristics. Aging and Work Organizations There has been much public attention to the aging of our society, and the implications for health care and the economy. Less is known about the characteristics of work organizations, how they are changing, and the implications of these changes for the health of older workers who continue working. Possible topics to be explored for further development include: 1) the changing nature of the workplace and workforce; 2) how aging workers are perceived and dealt with in the workplace; 3) specification of characteristics of work/workplace that facilitate or impede the productivity of older workers and the ability of older workers to stay in the workforce (e.g., the changes in work organizations; flexible work rules; phased retirement plans, etc.); and 4) innovations in the workplace to accommodate older workers or parents of workers (e.g., development of elder care programs).

INCLUSION OF WOMEN AND MINORITIES IN RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN SUBJECTS It is the policy of the NIH that women and members of minority groups and their subpopulations must be included in all NIH supported biomedical and behavioral research projects involving human subjects, unless a clear and compelling rationale and justification are provided that inclusion is inappropriate with respect to the health of the subjects of the purpose of the research. This new policy results from the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 (Section 492B of Public Law 103-43) and supersedes and strengthens the previous policies (Concerning the Inclusion of Women in Study Populations, and Concerning the Inclusion of Minorities in Study Populations). All investigators proposing research involving human subjects should read the "NIH Guidelines for Inclusion of Women and Minorities as Subjects in Clinical Research", which have been published in the Federal Register of March 28, 1994 (FR 59 14508-14513) and reprinted in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, Volume 23, Number 11, March 18, 1994. Investigators also may obtain copies of the policy from the program staff listed under INQUIRIES. Program staff may also provide additional relevant information concerning the policy.

I'm teaching a sociology of medicine class here at Hanover College, which is a small liberal arts college. The administration wants us to increase the technological proficiency of our students, but since we are a liberal arts college, the assignments need to fit with the mission of a liberal arts college. Part of that mission is to incrase the global perspective of our students. I know that professors at other colleges have asked students to submit assignments on e-mail to see that students have learned some basic computer skills. I thought a better assignment might be to e-mail a student in another sociology of medicine class and redirect the response to me. An even better idea would be to have them connect to students in another country. Are any of you interested in having your students connect with students in my class? You may respond directly to me at my e-mail address below. Thanks, Karen Donahue Karen A. Donahue Dept. of Sociology & Anthropology Hanover College Hanover, IN 47243 E-Mail: donahue@hanover.edu Off.
