HABIT

November 26, 2002 Vol. 5 No. 9

Dear Colleagues,

As the year races toward a close (does it ever amble to the finish line?), there are signs in Washington that 2003 will be an interesting year for HABIT readers.

Maybe it's the aftermath of the recent elections, or the postponement of major budget appropriations, or simply continued recognition of the major role that the federal government can and does play in health behavior research that's brought on this premonition. This issue of HABIT brings much news from our nation's capital, and we'll be watching these stories play out right along with you.

And in case you're feeling energetic at the thought of a new year, why not check out HABIT's online listings of new jobs, funding opportunities, conferences and events, updated each week? Maybe you'll find something there to pique your interest in a different direction, or rekindle an old research goal.

Hope your holidays are off to a good start!

Regards --

Jessie Gruman, PhD
Executive Director, Center for the Advancement of Health

P.S. Congratulations to Norman Anderson, a leader in health behavior change and former director of the Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research, who is Chief Executive Officer Designate of the American Psychological Association.
