Outstanding Dissertation Award
The Division of School Psychology (Division 16) of the American Psychological Association requests nominations for the Outstanding Dissertation in School Psychology Award. This award is presented to a school psychologist who has completed a doctoral dissertation which merits special recognition and which has the potential to contribute to the science and practice of school psychology. Nominees must (a) have successfully defended the dissertation between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2003, and (b) be a Member OR Student Affiliate of Division 16 at the time of receipt of the award (August, 2004). The award recipient will be asked to serve on a committee to select subsequent award winners, give a award presentation based on the dissertation at the subsequent APA annual convention, and submit a manuscript to School Psychology Quarterly (the Division 16 journal). Anyone, including a candidate her or himself, may nominate a school psychologist for the award. Four copies of the nominee's vita and letters of support from at least two members of the dissertation itself should be submitted for each candidate, along with a copy of the dissertation. Please send nominations by March 15, 2004, to John S. Carlson, PhD, NCSP, School Psychology Program, Michigan State University, 431 Erickson Hall, East Lansing, MI 48823.
