4 What is significant authorship?

5 The sequence- determines- credit approach The sequence of authors reflects the declining importance of their contribu8on Authorship order only reflects rela8ve contribu8on, whereas evalua8on commi>ees o?en need quan8ta8ve measures. First author should get credit for the whole impact (impact factor), the second author half, the third a third, and so forth, up to rank ten. When papers have more than ten authors, the contribu8on of each author from the tenth posi8on onwards is then valuated just 5%.

6 The equal contribu8on norm Authors use alphabe8cal sequence to acknowledge similar contribu8ons or to avoid disharmony in collabora8ng groups. Contribu8on of each author is valuated as an equal propor8on (impact divided by the number of all authors, but a minimum of 5%).

7 The first- last- author- emphasis norm In many labs, the great importance of last authorship is well established. First author should get credit of the whole impact, the last author half, and the credit of the other authors is the impact divided by the number of all authors

8 The percent- contribu8on- indicated approach There is a trend to detail each author s contribu8on This should also be used to establish the quan8fied credit.

12 A. Personal Statement Briefly describe why you are well- suited for your role in the project described in this applica8on. The relevant factors may include aspects of your training; your previous experimental work on this specific topic or related topics; your technical exper8se; your collaborators or scien<fic environment; and your past performance in this or related fields (you may men8on specific contribu8ons to science that are not included in Sec8on C).

13 A. Personal Statement I have the exper<se, leadership, training, exper<se and mo<va<on necessary to successfully carry out the proposed research project and coordinate the team. I have a broad background in psychology, with specific training and exper<se in ethnographic and survey research and secondary data analysis on psychological aspects of drug addic<on. My research includes neuropsychological changes associated with addic<on. As PI or co- Inves<gator on several university- and NIH- funded grants, I laid the groundwork for the proposed research by developing effec<ve measures of disability, depression, and other psychosocial factors relevant to the aging substance abuser, and by establishing strong <es with community providers that will make it possible to recruit and track par<cipants over <me as documented in the following publica<ons. In addi<on, I successfully administered the projects (e.g. staffing, research protec<ons, budget), collaborated with other researchers, and produced severalmul<- author peer- reviewed publica<ons from each project. As a result of these previous experiences, I am aware of the importance of frequent communica<on among project members and of construc<ng a realis<c team- based research plan, <meline, and budget. The current applica<on builds logically on my prior work. During my career was disrupted due to family obliga<ons. However, upon returning to the field I immediately resumed my research projects and collabora<ons and successfully competed for NIH support. 1. Merryle, R.J. & Hunt, M.C. (2004).

14 C. Contribu8on to Science Briefly describe up to five of your most significant contribu8ons to science. For each contribu8on, indicate the historical background that frames the scien8fic problem; the central finding(s); the influence of the finding(s) on the progress of science or the applica8on of those finding(s) to health or technology; and your specific role in the described work. For each of these contribu8ons, reference up to four peer- reviewed publica8ons or other non- publica8on research products (can include audio or video products; patents; data and research materials; databases; educa8onal aids or curricula; instruments or equipment; models; protocols; and so?ware or netware) that are relevant to the described contribu8on. The descrip8on of each contribu8on should be no longer than one half page including figures and cita8ons. Also provide a URL to a full list of your published work as found in a publicly available digital database such as SciENcv or My Bibliography, which are maintained by the US Na8onal Library of Medicine.

15 C. Contribu8on to Science 1. My early publica<ons directly addressed the fact that substance abuse is oben overlooked in older adults. However, because many older adults were raised during an era of increased drug and alcohol use, there are reasons to believe that this will become an increasing issue as the popula<on ages. These publica<ons found that older adults appear in a variety of primary care secngs or seek mental health providers to deal with emerging addic<on problems. These publica<ons document this emerging problem but guide primary care providers and geriatric mental health providers to recognize symptoms, assess the nature of the problem and apply the necessary interven<ons. By providing evidence and simple clinical approaches, this body of work has changed the standards of care for addicted older adults and will con<nue to provide assistance in relevant medical secngs well into the future. I served as the primary inves<gator or co- inves<gator or team member in all of these studies. a. Gryczynski, J., Shab, B.M., Merryle, R., & Hunt, M.C. (2002).

16 C. Contribu8on to Science 2. In addi<on to the contribu<ons described above, with a team of collaborators, I directly documented the effec<veness of various interven<on models for older substance abusers and demonstrated the importance of social support networks. These studies emphasized contextual factors in the e<ology and maintenance of addic<ve disorders and the disrup<ve poten<al of networks in substance abuse treatment. This body of work also discusses the prevalence of alcohol, amphetamine, and opioid abuse in older adults and how networking approaches can be used to mi<gate the effects of these disorders. a.
