Opportunities

This workshop series is about the relationship between biological processes, emotional well-being and health. In some cases biological systems are best known for their association with dysfunction or disease (e.g. inflammation, cortisol); this workshop series aims to examine how biological systems and patterns of activation might be uniquely involved in emotional well-being and promote health.  Esteemed guest speakers for this webinar include Steve Cole, Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences in the UCLA School of Medicine; Sarah Pressman, Professor of Psychological Science at the University of California UC Irvine, Martin Picard, Associate Professor of Behavioral Medicine at Columbia University, and Ted Robles, Professor of Psychology at UCLA. Q&A and interactive segments will be led by members of our Network for Emotional Well-Being collaborative team.

The Network for Emotional Well-being: Science, Practice, and Measurement, a collaborative project between UCSF, UC Berkeley, and Harvard, announces 4 fellowship awards. The awards will support early career researchers – post-docs and junior faculty (Assistant Professors or equivalent) - interested in joining an intensive summer short course exploring the linkages between emotional well-being and physical health outcomes. The course is jointly hosted by the Lee Kum Sheung Center for Health and Happiness at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Research Department of Behavioural Science and Health at University College London (UCL). The 2023 course will be held on Harvard’s campus in Cambridge, MA.

To encourage innovative studies of how promoting emotional well-being (EWB) can benefit health and longevity, NEW-B will provide funding for three to five projects that examine the mechanisms that underlie the potential effects of EWB-promoting interventions on downstream biobehavioral health outcomes.

Two levels of funding are offered—$50,000 and $100,000 total for project expenses (institutional F&A costs may be added)—for projects that can be completed in an 18-month time frame.

Two research networks funded by the National Institutes of Health are requesting applications for analyses utilizing large scale cohort studies to examine psychosocial predictors and correlates of health and aging.

The Network for Emotional Well-being: Science, Practice, and Measurement, a collaborative project between UCSF, UC Berkeley, and Harvard, in partnership with the NIA-funded Stress Measurement Network, will support applicants for secondary data analysis projects with a $10,000.00 Emotional Well-being & Health Data Analysis Award.

This workshop series is about the relationship among biological processes, emotional well-being and health. This workshop series aims to examine how biological systems and patterns of activation might be uniquely associated with emotional well-being and help promote health.  Our first seminar focuses on the Autonomic Nervous System.

Esteemed guest speakers for this webinar include Julian Thayer, PhD, Professor of Psychological Science at UC Irvine, Lani Shiota, PhD, Associate Professor of Social Psychology at Arizona State University, and Antony Ong, professor of psychology at Cornell University. Network for Emotional Well-Being co-PI Wendy Mendes, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry at UCSF will also share key insights from her research during this inaugural webinar.

The Network for Emotional Well-being: Science, Practice, and Measurement, a collaborative project between UCSF, UC Berkeley, and Harvard, announces 4 fellowship awards. The awards will support early career researchers– post docs and junior faculty (Assistant Professors or equivalent)--interested in joining an intensive summer short course exploring the linkages between emotional well-being and physical health outcomes. The course is jointly hosted by the Lee Kum Sheung Center for Health and Happiness at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Research Department of Behavioural Science and Health at University College London (UCL). The 2022 course will be held in person in London, July 11-15, 2022.

Two research networks funded by the National Institutes of Health are requesting proposals for projects that utilize large scale cohort studies to examine psychological predictors and correlates of health and aging.

The Network for Emotional Well-being: Science, Practice, and Measurement, a collaborative project between UCSF, UC Berkeley, and Harvard, in partnership with the NIA-funded Stress Measurement Network, will support several projects via grant funding of up to $15,000 per project.

Affective Science invites proposals for papers to include in a special issue that will showcase novel empirical evidence examining interventions that can modify psychological well-being in meaningful, durable, and scalable ways.

​

Contributions are welcome from multiple disciplines including – but not limited to – psychology (health, social, personality, biological, developmental, clinical, cultural, organizational & industrial, cognitive, etc.), public health (social & behavioral sciences, epidemiology, health policy, global health), neuroscience, communication science, economics, sociology, and computer science.  

The Network for Emotional Well-being: Science, Practice, and Measurement, a collaborative project between UCSF, UC Berkeley, and Harvard announces a new pilot study award. 

​

To catalyze research on effective interventions for emotional well-being, the Network for Emotional Well-being will support three to five projects that examine the mechanisms that underlie the effects of emotional well-being promoting interventions on key health outcomes. Awards range from $10,000 to $50,000 per award for studies conducted for up to a 2-year period.
