International Conference: Migration, from, to and within Europe: Economic and Social Opportunities and Costs. The University of Bologna is hosting a conference from June 19-21, 2019 that aims to improve the understanding of the effect that different forms of migration have had and will continue to exert on economic and social change in receiving countries. As concerns the economic opportunities provided by incoming migrants to their host countries throughout history, participants are requested to cover immigrants’ contribution to filling job vacancies, providing services to an ageing population, and reducing the pension gap. As to social opportunities, participants should emphasize the role played by education prospects in migratory projects, especially in favour of immigrant children.Deadline: February 25, 2019. More details and abstract submission here 

AWARDS
The American Association for Public Opinion Research is pleased to invite submissions for the 2019 Seymour Sudman Student Paper Competition, which honors the best student paper presented at the AAPOR annual conference. The award is given as a tribute to Seymour Sudman, in memory of his many contributions to survey methodology, his leadership in the AAPOR community and his teaching and mentoring of students. To be eligible for the award, students must submit a full paper for review by the Sudman Student Paper Award Committee. Membership in AAPOR is not required to participate in the competition, but applicants are expected to join at the time of the conference. The award committee will consider all papers that relate to the study of public opinion, whether they focus on theory, substantive findings, research methods, and/or statistical techniques used in such research. Students are limited to one submission each as the primary author. A single prize of $750 will be awarded to the winning paper at the conference and the author(s) of the paper will deliver it at the conference. For a winning paper with one author, AAPOR will reimburse the author’s expenses for airfare (up to $500), three nights at the conference hotel, and the conference registration fee. For a winning submission with multiple authors, AAPOR will pay only the above expenses for the primary author (or his/her designee, who must be a co-author) to present the paper. Up to two other papers may receive an Honorable Mention designation with each receiving a $100 cash prize. Authors must be current students (graduate or undergraduate) at the time of submission, or must have received their degree during the preceding academic year. The research must have been substantially completed while all authors were enrolled in a degree program. AAPOR will give preference to papers based on research not published or presented at the national conference of another organization. Students interested in having their papers considered for the 2019 Seymour Sudman Student Paper Competition must submit a full paper to the award committee by completing the application and submitting a full paper by January 18, 2019.
Note that full papers must:
* Be less than 6,500 words (not including the title page, abstract, tables, references and appendices);
* Include all information required by the AAPOR Code of Professional Ethics & Practices;
* Include a statement regarding whether the paper has been presented elsewhere, published, or accepted for publication at the time of submission;
* Include a statement from a faculty advisor attesting to the role that all authors played in conceptualizing the study and writing the paper.
To submit an application visit the award nomination and application page here. Download a copy of the Sudman Award poster for distribution to any students who may be interested.

TRAINING
Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Cancer: applications close January 16, 2019 12pm ET. One of the most critical issues impeding improvements in the health of people across the cancer control continuum today is the enormous gap between what we know can optimize health and what gets implemented in everyday practice. The science of dissemination and implementation (D&I) seeks to address this gap by understanding how best to ensure that evidence-based strategies to improve health and prevent disease are effectively delivered in clinical and public health practice. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) is hosting this training institute to provide participants with a thorough grounding in conducting D&I research with a specific focus on cancer, across the cancer control continuum. In 2019, the institute will utilize a combination of a 4-month online course (six modules with related assignments) between February 18 and June 28, 2019, and a 2-day in-person training to be held July 8 and 9, 2019, in Bethesda, MD. Faculty and guest lecturers will consist of leading experts in theory, implementation science in cancer, and evaluation approaches to D&I; creating partnerships and multilevel, transdisciplinary research teams; research design, methods, and analyses appropriate for D&I; and conducting research at different and multiple levels of intervention (e.g., clinical, community, policy). This training institute has been adapted from the broader Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (TIDIRH), organized by NIH and the VA over the past eight years. This training is designed for investigators at any career stage interested in conducting D&I research with a focus on the cancer control continuum. There is no cost associated with the training. Invited participants are required to cover related travel expenses to the Washington D.C. area for the in-person meeting. More answers to common questions can be found on the site FAQ. Please see the Training Institute website for a full description, information on participant eligibility, and to apply.

GRADUATE STUDENTS
Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships provide funding to students to encourage the study of less commonly taught foreign languages in combination with area and international studies. These fellowships are funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Education. The purpose of the FLAS program is to promote the training of students who intend to make their careers in college or university teaching, government service, or other employment where knowledge of foreign languages and cultures is essential. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The FLAS fellowship competition for Summer 2019 awards and Academic Year 2019-20 awards is now open. The application deadline is Wednesday, January 30, 2019. See the Graduate Fellowships website for details.
