What a Difference a Friend Makes Contest
SAMHSA and the Ad Council are pleased to announce the What a Difference a Friend Makes Contest. If you have a great story about how you have been there for a friend through his/her recovery from a mental health problem, or how a friend has been there for you, we'd love to hear from you. It's simple to enter—just submit a short video or an essay that tells in a creative and meaningful way how you've supported a friend during a tough time in his/her life or how a friend supported you. The story can be based on your real-life experience, and it does not need to reveal the identity of the friend (unless the friend agrees to participate).

Informed Decision-Making in Young Adolescents at Risk for HIV/AIDS
The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) invites interdisciplinary formative research projects attempting to explore the neurological basis of HIV/AIDS risk avoidance decision-making among young adolescents. Additional research is needed on HIV prevention interventions developed within social and gender constructs of adolescents that consider neurocognitive development and investigate neurocognitive variables. Prevention strategies that consider social, cultural and gender constructs in combination with neurological and cognitive maturity may offer increased intervention effectiveness for reducing HIV risk in younger adolescents.
