The integration of multiple perspectives in both the arts and natural sciences is tremendously powerful and arguably necessary for capturing relevant features of complex phenomena. Individual methods and models comprise abstractions from and idealizations of nature, and only the integration of multiple models, methods, and representations provides a means to reach more accurate results than relying on any single approach. In my Mildred Cohn Award Lecture at the 2019 ASBMB meeting, I illustrated the power of such multidisciplinary work by highlighting the successful integration of data and multiple views afforded by NMR spectroscopy, cryo-electron microscopy, cryo-electron tomography, X-ray crystallography, computation, and functional assays made possible through collaborative efforts by members of the Pittsburgh Center for HIV Protein Interactions. This approach permitted us to generate the first all-atom model of a native HIV-1 capsid core.

The APA Awards for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology in the Public Interest recognize persons who have advanced psychology as a science and/or profession by a single extraordinary achievement or a lifetime of outstanding contributions in the public interest. The 2019 recipient of the Award for Distinguished Senior Career Contributions to Psychology in the Public Interest is Brian L. Wilcox. Throughout his extensive career, Wilcox "has worked at the intersection of psychology and social policy, making a unique and valuable contribution to advancing both fields, as well as social justice and the public interest. He most recently served as professor and director of the Center on Children, Families, and the Law at the University of Nebraska. Among the many areas in which his work has had a positive impact are child welfare, child poverty, child maltreatment, early childhood education, adolescent risk behavior, the impact of media and divorce on youth, and the prevention of HIV."

The International Humanitarian Award recognizes extraordinary humanitarian services and activism by psychologists, including professional and volunteer work conducted primarily in the field with underserved populations. Award recipients are psychologists who, by their extraordinary service at a difficult time, improve the lives and contribute to the well-being of people in a large or small geographic area anywhere in the world. The 2019 award for International Humanitarian is presented to Gargi Roysircar. "For her significant contributions to international mental health practice and assessment, particularly in disasteraffected communities, Gargi Roysircar has enriched our understanding of cultural identities and contextual trauma and resilience of nationalities. Her research on immigrant and refugee experiences challenges psychologists to expand their own awareness and consider the international implications of their work. Gargi Roysircar has participated in mental health counseling in postearthquake Haiti; tsunami-affected Southern India; the United States Gulf Coast following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita; Tabasco, Mexico, following Hurricane Dean; and for HIV/AIDS-infected and affected children and women in South Africa and Botswana. She is an outstanding mentor to her students, many of whom are now cross-cultural researchers and international service providers." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).

Low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) have high disease burdens, necessitating increased research. However, LMIC research output constitutes only 2% of global total. To increase output, researchers must be capacitated. The University of Zimbabwe (UZ) and the University at Buffalo (UB), developed and implemented the AIDS International Research Training Program (AITRP), in 2008, that focused on graduate scholars. The subsequent HIV Research Training Program (HRTP), begun in 2016, and piloted post-doctoral training to enhance research productivity at UZ. This report discusses the collaboration. As of 2016, prospective candidates applied by submitting letters of intent, research proposals, curriculum vitae and biographical sketches. The scholars research training included hypothesis and project development, completion of grant applications, research project budgets, research presentations to diverse audiences and the application of advanced statistics to research data. The first cohort of five postdoctoral scholars were trained at UZ and UB, between 2016 and 2019. Through the formalized postdoctoral training approach, scholars identified areas of focus. In 2017, one of the scholars obtained a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Emerging Global Leader Award and is now a highly-rated researcher based in South Africa. A second scholar made NIH D43 and K43 grant applications, while the remaining three are academicians and early researchers at UZ. Although research output in Africa and many LMICs is low, it can be built through cooperation similar to the UZ-UB HRTP. This manuscript reports on an effort aimed at building individual and institutional research capacity in Zimbabwe. This can serve as a model for building other similar training programs.
