Business at the SIG Meeting

edit

1. Status review and planning for growth

edit

Andrew Peckham provided details about number of members on listserv (>50!), number that responded to survey (>20!), and reviewed that there were 8 posters from 3 different research groups presented at the SIG Expo at 2024.

2. Dues

edit

Dues historically had been $20/year for faculty and students are requested to contribute what they can. No dues were collected at the meeting.

3. Previous suggestions for improving listserv

edit
  1. Create a list: Name, email, current projects
  2. When preparing talks, compile symposiums. SIG members could submit talks, and the SIG can compile symposiums and submit.
  3. Sending around information, job offers, etc
  4. Organizing ABCT bipolar SIG at ISBD

Next meeting is in Chiba, Japan in September 2025; poster submissions due in January

  1. Build BD assessment battery matrix

Need a "water carrier" for this -- have multiple meta-analyses that would inform decisions.

  1. Recommendations for core measures for a standard, including neurocognition

4. Presentation of Johnson-Youngstrom Poster Award

edit

(None presented?)

5. Symposium submissions
