Clinical faculty member accepts Invitation to 2009 Science Leadership Conference
Todd Moore, Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology, has accepted an invitation from the American Psychological Association to attend the 5th Annual Science Leadership Conference in Washington, DC in November.
The theme of the 2009 SciLC is "Enhancing the Nation's Health Through Psychological Science." The goal is to advocate for increased federal funding for basic and translational psychological research and training, which will ultimately contribute to the development and evaluation of empirically-based interventions to improve health.
A total of 100 psychologists from across the US will attend. The APA will pay all expenses associated with the trip.
Todd is the second UTK Psychology faculty member to be invited to these yearly conferences. Lowell Gaertner was a participant in 2007.
