Clinical Proposal Education Proposal Research Proposal

GENERAL

Q. The program will take place in the country where neuropsychology is not as well developed as in the US, but the country is in the UPPER-MIDDLE income according to World Bank/UN classification. Would we still be eligible?

A. We don’t exclude applications from any income level but just prioritize low/middle income so being upper-middle is not an exclusion.

Q. The funds of this grant will cover ONLY PART of the expenses associated with this project. The rest of the expenses will hopefully be covered by other grants. Is that okay?

A. This is fine; however, the application will need to state how the team plans to cover the rest of the funds. In addition to naming the source of additional funding in the application, the team will – if successful in their Matthews Fund application – need to provide confirmation that all required funds were in place before the Matthews funding would be released.

Q. Is there a template for writing a Matthews Fund proposal?

A. There is no template. Please refer to the webpage for the particular funding stream of interest, i.e., Education and Training, Research or Clinical, for details of the sections to be included.

Q. We are one paragraph over the 4-page limit, due to the reference list. Will that be acceptable, or should we cut down?

A. Please keep to the application guidelines.

Q. Can someone on the Global Engagement Committee review our proposal after it is written but before we submit it?

A. No, unfortunately that would introduce a conflict of interest at the time of formal review. INS does have a Research and Editing Consultation Program (see https://the-ins.org/global-engagement/#consultant-program); however, it is up to that team to determine if this would fall under the remit of that program.

Q. How much does it cost to become an INS member?

A. Details of how to join INS may be found at https://the-ins.org/join-ins/benefits-of-membership/ There are various levels of membership based on career stage and geographic location.

Q. If me or my team/group already received a Charles Matthews Fund, can we apply for another fund in the future?

A. Yes and no. If you already received an Education and Training grant, you cannot re-apply for the same mechanism. If you would like to apply to a different mechanism and the actions for the proposal are well justified or are a continuation of a proposal previously funded (e.g., based on findings from a Charles Matthews Fund Research proposal you would like to apply for Clinical funds to implement results in a clinical practice setting) you are welcome to apply again.

Q. Can a team or the same INS member simultaneously submit more than one proposal?

A. Yes, if the proposals are for different mechanisms (e.g., one proposal for the Educational and Training program and the other one for the Research program).

EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Q. I am an INS member and the PI for the application, but do all workshop participants have to be INS members?

A. While all workshop participants do not have to be INS members, the Committee always like to see some INS representation beyond that of the PI of the application; however, it is not required.

Q. I am applying for the Education and Training grant; can you suggest INS members that might be interested in participating as invited speakers and/or lead pre/post conference workshops?

A. The INS website has many places to look for INS members with particular expertise. These include the list of representatives of the Global Engagement Committee https://the-ins.org/global-engagement/#gec-members, INS Governance pages https://the-ins.org/about-ins/governance/, and the Special Interest Groups list https://the-ins.org/sigs/ are all excellent places to start.

RESEARCH

Q. I am an INS member and the PI for the application, but do all study collaborators have to be INS members?

A. While all study collaborators do not have to be INS members, the Committee always like to see some INS representation on the team beyond that of the PI of the application; however, it is not required.

Q. The research group is a combination of neuropsychologists from US and non-US countries; is that okay?

A. This is fine as long as the clear focus of the program is within a country where neuropsychology is less well developed.

Q. Although my application is for the Research and not the Education and Training grant, it still has implications for postgraduate teaching and development of specific research methods. Is that okay?

A. Yes. As long as the primary focus is research, and the funds are primarily used to advance a scientific question including methods development.

Q. We have already conducted our experiments and written our manuscripts; however, we require assistance with publication fees. Is this something that the Research Fund could assist with?

A. Unfortunately, this is not under the remit of the mechanisms as written.

Next Step of Neuropsychology: Integration of the Traditional – Based Approach to the Technology-Based Approach (Thai Neuropsychology Society) – August 16th-18th, 2023

The 2^nd International Neuropsychology Society Conference was organised by Dr Parisuth Sumransub, President of the newly formed Thai Neuropsychology Society,  and delegates were welcomed to the event by Supavadee Nuanmanee, President of The Thai Clinical Psychologists Association, and Pongakesem Khaimook, M.D., Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Thai Ministry of Public Health.

The conference focused on traditional approaches to neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation as well as approaches that draw upon use of new technologies for both assessment and rehabilitation, and how to integrate new technologies with traditional approaches to neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation.

170 participants attended, including clinical psychologists, physicians/psychiatrists, physiotherapists, communication disorder therapists, occupational therapists, music therapists, teachers/instructors, undergraduate and doctoral students.

Speakers and topics at the conference included:

Day 1

Dr Jon Evans (UK), Cognitive theory and traditional assessment and rehabilitation of memory, attention, executive and visuospatial functions

Day 2

Dr Albert Rizzo (USA) Technology based approaches to cognitive assessment

Dr Pongsatron Paholpak (Thailand) Simultaneous Electroencephalography and Neuroimaging for Functional Neurological Assessment

Dr. Ajay Halai (UK) Cognitive theory and traditional assessment and rehabilitation of language

Day 3

Dr Parisuth Sumransub (Thailand) Technology-Based Cognitive Training and Rehabilitation

Dr Rene Stolwyk (Australia) Teleneuropsychology

Dr. Graham Pluck (Thailand) Integration of traditional – Based Approach to Technology -based Approach for Clinical Practices and Future Directions

Feedback from conference delegates indicated that delegates were very satisfied with the quality of presentations and the organisation of the conference. Delegates indicated that the topics were very relevant to their practice and felt that their knowledge of these important areas improved as a result of attending the conference. Delegates noted that they are keen to learn more about these topics through further seminars and workshops in the future.

Dr Sumransub was supported by many colleagues to run the event including Ms.Jittarat Srivilert, Ms.Thayakorn Kittichai, Mr.Isara Durongkadej, Ms.Pathitta Dujada, Mr.Chollathis Kengkarnrob, Mr.Yuthachai Sarutikriangkri, Mr.Suchart Tangnimitchok, Ms.Thidaporn Manmen and Ms.Poonniphat Pantoe

Strengthening Capacity for Neuropsychological Assessment in the Carribbean (WINDREF) — March 3^rd-4^th, 2022

In March of 2022, the Matthews Fund supported a 2-day virtual/in-person hybrid workshop in Grenada, West Indies. The aim of the workshop was to bring together stakeholders in the English-speaking Caribbean who share an interest in strengthening regional capacity for neuropsychological assessment. Attendees spanned the Caribbean from Trinidad to St. Vincent and Jamaica, as well as Europe, Canada, and North America. There were psychologists, social workers, physicians, educators, and non-profit field experts in attendance. The workshop was organized by Roberta Evans, MS, with assistance from Kemi Burgen, MA, both of whom are early career psychologists in the region. It was co-sponsored by the Windward Islands Research and Education Foundation (WINDREF) and St George’s University.

The event opened with a welcome message and acknowledgement of the unique history and ancestries of the region. Day 1 focused on the development of culturally appropriate assessments and interventions, as well as the appreciation of locally relevant risk factors for adverse neuropsychological outcomes. We compared different methodologies for the development of local reference groups and international normative standards. We learned about pertinent local exposures, such as arboviruses and corporal punishment practices, that need to be considered during assessments. We heard from a UNICEF early childhood development specialist about the importance of advancing equity for Caribbean children through quality assessments. We were introduced to efforts that are underway to develop and validate a Caribbean learning and memory scale. Day 1 included helpful step-by-step tutorials on how to measure early childhood development in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as well as how to apply a regression-based approach to normative sample development.

Day 2 focused on community-based training models and how to grow regional capacity without compromising local culture and values. We learned about the challenges and perils of translating values implicit to Western, Education, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) cultures to local training and practice models. We learned about the importance of establishing and communicating the purpose and results of assessment in collaboration with community stakeholders, with room for transformation, so that neuropsychology can grow indigenously within the region.

Overall, this workshop brought together a unique combination of experts from various backgrounds, disciplines, and regions to make for a lively and engaging exchange. Attendees provided feedback that it was a “seminal” experience for their work in the region. All workshop events, panels, and lectures were recorded and are now available for INS membership so that others who were not able to attend can still benefit from the unique and valuable discussions that occurred.

Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP) 10^th-11^th — November 2021

The Charles Matthews Fund call funded in 2021 two international educational actions, one to take place in the Philippines and one in the Caribbean region. The first of this actions, took place in November 10-11, 2021 as a two-day historical webinar called “Basics of Neuropsychology: A Scientist-Practitioner Model Approach”. The webinar was made possible by a partnership with the International Neuropsychological Society and planned by Dr Rhalf Jayson F. Guanco, assistant professor at Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP) and recipient of the Charles G. Matthews International Neuropsychological Development Fund. The fund’s mission is to assist educational and training initiatives such as workshops, symposia, and webinars in countries with less developed/resourced neuropsychology, such as the Philippines. In this occasion, the fund was established to assist the Adventist University of the Philippines in reaching a broader audience in the Philippines and internationally. It has enabled Dr Rhalf Jayson Guanco and his colleagues, Dr Mylene Gumarao (Chairperson of the AUP Graduate Psychology), Dr Myrtle Orbon (Chairperson of the AUP Undergraduate Psychology), and a competent pool of faculty, Dr Sheryll Ann Castillo, Ms. Cutie Canesares, and Ms. Buensafe Sadicon, under the leadership of the dean of the AUP College of Arts and Humanities Dr Eunice Aclan, to envision a more hopeful future for neuropsychology in the Philippines.

Dr Natalia Ojeda del Pozo, chair of the INS Global Engagement Committee, opened the program with a welcome message, as did Dr Miriam Narbarte, Vice President for Academics at the Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP), on Day 1, and Dr Eunice Aclan, college dean at the AUP College of Arts and Humanities on Day 2. This two-day webinar featured sessions led by two national experts: Dr Rhalf Jayson Guanco, a licensed psychologist and psychometrician who serves as the INS Global Engagement Representative for the Philippines, who discussed “Current Challenges in Neuropsychology Practice,” and Ms. Maria Corazon Fernandez, a clinical psychologist at the Asian Hospital and Medical Center, who discussed “Neuropsychological Assessment: Clinical and Theoretical Foundations.” Additionally, two international experts participated: Dr Tracy Vannorsdal, a clinical neuropsychologist and associate professor in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine’s Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Neurology, presented on the topic “Basics of Neuropsychology: Implications for Clinical Practice and Research,” and Dr Rowena Ng, a pediatric neuropsychologist at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, presented on the topic “Principles of Neuropsychological Assessment in Children and Adolescents”.

A total of 638 attendees (psychologists, psychometricians, graduate psychology students, college students, teachers, and post-doctoral trainees in neuropsychology) attended the event. Additionally, participants represent 263 institutions and organizations throughout the Philippines and 10 overseas. The evaluation of the program revealed an overall mean rating of 4.9 out of 5, interpreted as extremely satisfied with the event’s overall impact. A notable outcome of the two-day webinar was the agreement of a number of psychologists and psychometricians in the Philippines to immediately establish a neuropsychology special interest group within the Philippine Psychological Association following the conclusion of the program.
