Announcing such a major change to NSF GRFP this late in the cycle is incredibly cruel. 2nd yr students (mine included) have been working so hard on their proposals despite ongoing uncertainty. They are driven and passionate about being outstanding scientists and helping those coming up behind them.

This means individuals in the following statuses at the time of application are eligible:

Undergraduate in the final (senior) year of a bachelor’s degree program
Bachelor’s degree-holder with NO enrollment in a graduate degree program (non-degree graduate coursework allowed)
Individual enrolled in a joint bachelor’s-master’s degree program with at least three undergraduate years completed
First-year graduate student in their first graduate degree program with less than one academic year completed in the degree program (according to institution’s academic calendar)
Individuals enrolled in joint bachelor’s-master’s degree programs are considered graduate students. For GRFP, joint bachelor’s-master’s degrees are defined as degrees concurrently pursued and awarded.
Not be a current NSF employee.

Applications that do not meet eligibility requirements will be returned without review as being ineligible for a fellowship.

I was honored by the @psychscience.bsky.social DEI Committee's invitation to help curate this collection of outstanding articles addressing a range of issues related to anti-Black racism. I also couldn't have asked for a more thoughtful and thorough partner in @johnjost.bsky.social. Please share!

Association for Psychological Science @psychscience.bsky.social · Aug 14

This virtual special collection, The Psychological Science of Anti-Black Racism, an Ongoing Social Problem, highlights a selection of articles published in APS journals over the past decade that explore the enduring problem of anti-Black racism in the U.S.

I really enjoyed writing this piece, and collaborating with Dr. Miguel Cano and several (former) graduate and undergraduate students! This prompted my development of a new study @adapt206.bsky.social, hoping to address some of the research gaps we noted. Stay tuned for our ABC Study!

We critiqued the “weak” theories behind the links btn acculturation factors and alcohol use, imprecise operationalization, disconnect btn science & clinical practice, and importantly, discussed opportunities for scientific advancement in the study of alcohol across populations.

Excited to share a pre/post-print, “State of the Science: Alcohol Use and Acculturation-Related Factors Across Diverse Populations,” in press in @abctnow.bsky.social Behavior Therapy! osf.io/preprints/ps...
An authoritative review of past research and a look to the future in research and practice!

Just needed to know what journal. Thank you (and congrats!)

Priscilla Lui @drpriscillalui.bsky.social · Aug 22

@katiecorker.bsky.social can’t seem to find it, can you share the citation for this in-press article? I’m citing it in a paper I’m submitting!

Priscilla Lui @drpriscillalui.bsky.social · Aug 15

I don’t claim expertise as a qualitative researcher! Just challenging those critiques—some are misconceptions!

"Preregistration" lumps three distinct practices into one:

- Study registration
- Protocol
- Analysis plans (SAPs)

To advance open science, it's critical that we distinguish them.

QUAL research should and can include analysis plan, inc theoretical frameworks used for analysis (eg, ethnography, CQR?), when and how analysis will be performed (in conjunction or after data collection), how saturation will be determined, how and if triangulation will be used etc

Thanks to @apadivision45.bsky.social for the invitation to chime in on engaging dialogs about important topics, validating how hard it can be to conduct research on these issues, and ways we should advance this science!

APA Division 45 @apadivision45.bsky.social · Jul 24

Another plenary panel, another opportunity to hear from some of greatest thinkers in our field!

Today’s final session was entitled “Advances in Discrimination Research” moderated by Dr. Rob Sellers and featuring
@drpriscillalui.bsky.social, @eneblett.bsky.socia, and Dr. Tiffany Yip!

And we got to facilitate more conversations about bridging open science & multicultural research from diverse discipline and career stages. And I got to spend time connecting with mentors and old friends!

July was a busy research-filled month! I presented @researchmj.bsky.social @apadivision45.bsky.social conferences in Michigan on hot-off-the-press findings from our @barsstudy.bsky.social. Some photos of students who presented posters. More community-facing dissemination soon!

Continued thoughtful cost-benefit analysis, consultation with working partners and populations, and careful planning to protect participant welfare and research study integrity are needed. As we advance science and use new tools, we hope to see more philosophical dialogs and meta-science research!

Now in press in JERHRE: we considered the ethics of using new tech such as VR in understanding discrimination experiences. We intentionally collected data from research participants, as opposed to imposing researchers’ views to speak for them. Data and materials shared, and study registered.

Something that gets me every time is this, hypocrisy.

Priscilla Lui @drpriscillalui.bsky.social · Jul 15

“Ethnic” and “ethic,” and “assess” and “asses.” What are words you use in your scientific papers that Word’s autocorrect/proofread does not detect? 🫥

Those of you in the trenches doing the best of science and training despite all the challenges….
I see you, I thank you, and I am with you. 💜 I will do what I can to support you and our science and humanity. ✊
