[Mo Yee Lee]

Hello all,

Very nice to meet with you all at SSWR. We did have a helpful and thought-provoking sharing. Anyhow, attached are the documents FYI as we have discussed:

1. 2012-2013 Funding opportunities for Dissertation and junior faculty
2. Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work Call for Paper on the Special Issue: Social Work with Chinese communities (Deadline: April 1, 2013)
3. Okura Mental Health Scholarship for Asian and Pacific Islander Social Workers
   
4. APISWEA International Conference Call for Proposal (Phnom Penh, Cambodia, June 24 & 25, 2013)
   
5. Submission to AAPI track at CSWE (Deadline Feb 25, Chair: Dr. Monit Cheung):  
   http://www.cswe.org/Meetings/2013apm/63926/63979/63989/64972.aspx 

The link to the journal and impact factors as prepared by Dr. Monit Cheung and Patrick Leung is: http://www.sw.uh.edu/_docs/cwep/journalsImpactFactorsHIndex.pdf

In addition, there is a discussion about mentors providing initial reviews of manuscripts or grants for mentees. The suggestion was initiated by Dr. Jini Roby and very well-received when I brought this up at the CSWE gathering. Attached is an updated list of API Mentoring Group with contact information (sheet 1) and research interests (sheet 2) of our members. Please feel free to identify appropriate mentors in your areas and feel free to connect with them for help in reviewing your scholarships or other issues as listed. As a courtesy, please first contact the identified colleagues and get their agreement prior to sending In addition, peer review is greatly encouraged. However, aPlease make helpful use of the list for the following purposes:

• Publications
• Grant proposal
• Job search
• Tenure
• Navigating career path

We do hope that we can help each other in establishing and further strengthening our scholarship.

See you all at 2013 CSWE in Dallas.


Stay well.

Dr. Lee
