The American Psychological Association
Board of Educational Affairs
Announces an Award for
Innovative Practices in Graduate Education in Psychology
- Graduate departments of psychology, regardless of the type of college or
school in which they are housed, may self-nominate or be nominated by others for recognition
of their innovative practices in graduate education.
- Those making the nomination should identify how the department has been innovative, what
was actually changed and why, and how this change has affected the quality of education and
training. Innovation will be judged in the institutional and historical context of the
graduate department.
- The panel judging the nominations and making recommendations to the Board of Educational
Affairs (BEA) will be appointed annually by the Council of Graduate Departments of Psychology
(COGDOP) in collaboration with the BEA. The panel will be chaired by a member of BEA,
appointed annually by that body.
- The award, and a description of the department and its program, will be published in the
APA Monitor. An award plaque and a check will be presented by a representative of the APA
Education Directorate at the campus location of the awardee(s). The stipend for this award
will be $5,000, with the possibility that more than one awardee may be recognized each year
(in which case the stipend will be divided among the awardees).
A proposal nominating a department for the award should be submitted
by November 15, 2009. The proposal should include the following
information.
a. Description - identify and briefly describe the innovative
practice and its objectives, relative to the department’s history and context;
b. Timeline and Personnel – describe when the practice began, key
people in its development, and what its status is currently;
c. Outcomes – state the outcomes achieved, including how the latter
were measured or otherwise assessed in relation to the objectives.
Final decisions will be announced by January 15, 2010.
