Founded in 1967, the International Neuropsychological Society (INS) is dedicated to advancing the science and practice of neuropsychology and related brain health professions through interdisciplinary collaboration, global outreach, and innovative research.
Dear INS Members and Colleagues,
We are writing to announce an opening for the Chair of the INS Science Committee.
Dr. Lena Dobson’s distinguished tenure as Chair concludes this February. We extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Dobson for her exceptional contributions and leadership during her term.
To ensure a seamless transition, we are actively soliciting nominations. We expect some excellent candidacies from current committee members—guaranteeing continuity—but we are also committed to an open and public selection process for leadership roles whenever possible. Our aim is to invite participation from the wider membership, leveraging varied experiences from other institutions to enrich our standards and strategic goals. This openness is vital for ensuring rigorous self-evaluation and welcoming innovative perspectives.
If you know someone who would be an ideal candidate, please ask her/him to submit their nomination to ins@the-ins.org (Biosketcth, and a letter of interest describing experience and vision of the Project to be developed). Being an INS member and payment of dues for 2026 is required. Deadline is December 30th.
Many thanks in advance!
Natalia Ojeda
The INS special project fund recipient is “Assessing Chronic Stress in HIV-Exposed Children Using Hair Cortisol Concentration: A Feasibility Sub-Study of the Healthy Child Study,” headed by Dr. Kaylee van Whye, the Neurocognitive Study Lead for the Healthy Child Study led out of Stellenbosch University in South Africa. The project integrates a non-invasive biomarker of stress (hair cortisol) with neuropsychological and environmental assessments to advance understanding of developmental outcomes in HIV-exposed uninfected children.
Congratulations to Dr. van Whye and her team. We look forward to seeing the results of your research!

Are you attending the INS 2026 meeting in Philadelphia? If so, the Global Mentoring Committee is seeking four trainee volunteers to assist with day-of operations for the Global Mentoring Event at the Philadelphia meeting. Roles/responsibilities include assistance with advertising around the hotel, guiding trainees to the event, and developing materials (e.g., creating laminated names for speakers). We anticipate one meeting to occur either just before the meeting or on one of the early conference days to assign specific roles/responsibilities.
Please contact the Global Mentoring Committee Co-Chairs directly to express interest:
Shawn McClintock, PhD (Shawn.McClintock@UTSouthwestern.edu) and Robin Green, PhD (robin.green@uhn.ca).
Thank you for considering supporting our team!
Sincerely,
The Global Mentoring Committee
The INS Global Mentoring Committee seeks to connect trainees and professional clinical neuropsychologists around the world and to provide opportunities for professional development and support. We host in-person mentoring talks and/or events at INS annual and mid-year
meetings, a 12-month virtual one-on-one mentoring program, and are in process of developing regional online mentoring events.
We are recruiting four trainee representatives to be a part of the INS Global Mentoring Committee and to assist with development of committee operations!
The INS Student Liaison Committee (SLC) was founded to foster international communication and
networking among students of the neuropsychological sciences and to promote student development
within INS. The SLC is currently seeking applications for three student representative positions. We
look forward to reviewing your application!
Application Deadline: January 15th at 11:59 pm EST

Are you looking for a way to connect with other INS members who share an interest in a specialized area of neuropsychology? Do you look forward to discussing professional issues, recent research, or the future of our field with others?
The INS special interest groups (SIGs) provide a forum for INS members with common interests to come together during INS meetings, for the purpose of sharing recent research, discussing professional issues, and interacting informally.
