Location: CIRA, Ste # 200, Rm. 228, 135 College Street, New Haven, CT
CIRA peer review provides an opportunity to enhance the quality of grant proposals and manuscripts written by CIRA scientists by sharing them with a multidisciplinary group of colleagues. The spirit of CIRA peer review is one of collegiality and respect; peer review is constructive rather than evaluative. Investigators use the feedback they receive as they see fit. We encourage you to have your proposal reviewed early in its development. If you would like to submit a grant proposal or manuscript for peer review, please contact Jon Atherton (jon.atherton@yale.edu or 203-764-4338).

From CIRA's Law, Policy and Ethics Core: CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS for edited book, Ethics in the Shadows: Moral Challenges in the Study of Illicit and Stigmatized Behaviors.
Deadline: Chapter proposals are due February 13, 2009.
Details: http://cira.med.yale.edu/opportunities/callforpapers_ethicsinshadows.pdf
CIRA Researchers Kaveh Khoshnood, Merrill Singer and Kevin Irwin, along with Craig Fry (University of Melbourne) are editing a book provisionally entitled Ethics in the Shadows: Moral Challenges in the Study of Illicit and Stigmatized Behaviors. The edited volume, which is being supported by CIRA's Law, Policy and Ethics Core, will examine the ethical issues that arise in the study of highly stigmatized and/or illicit behaviors and the populations that engage in such behaviors. These populations and behaviors may include: illicit drug use, sex work, homosexuality, gambling, domestic violence victims and perpetrators, prisoners, drug dealers, undocumented persons, pedophiles, child abuse victims and perpetrators, homeless persons, oppressed ethnic minorities, gang members, or people who attempt suicide or engage in self-mutilation (e.g., "cutters"). Other relevant behaviors and populations can be proposed. This book is intended to address ethical research challenges that have not been adequately addressed by existing guidelines or literature. Uniquely international issues are also highly encouraged. Please see the full Call for Papers on the CIRA Web site at: http://cira.med.yale.edu/opportunities/callforpapers_ethicsinshadows.pdf.
