Award for Distinguished Service to Psychological Science
Note: The deadline for 2009 submissions
has passed. Please check back early in 2010 for the next deadline
The APA Board of Scientific Affairs (BSA) is soliciting
nominations for the Award for Distinguished Service to Psychological Science.
This Award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions
to psychological science through their commitment to a culture of service.
Nominees will have demonstrated their service to the discipline by aiding
in association governance; serving on boards, committees and various psychological
associations; editing journals; reviewing grant proposals; mentoring students
and colleagues; advocating for psychological science’s best interests
with state and federal lawmakers; and promoting the value of psychological
science in the public eye. Nominees may be involved in one service area,
many of the areas, or all of the service areas noted above. An individual’s
service to the discipline and not a person’s scholarly achievements
are the focus of this award.
To submit a nomination provide the following:
- A letter of nomination that describes and supports the individual’s contributions (e.g., nature of the individual’s service to psychological science, positions held, etc.). The nomination letter should be no more than two pages long.
- A curriculum vita
- Three letters of support from individuals familiar with the nominee’s service to the discipline (These letters can be from colleagues who have served with the nominee; a Dean familiar with the nominee’s service; former students; Association/Society presidents, etc.)
Award recipients will receive an honorarium of $1,000.
Nominations will only be accepted as electronic submissions to
Culture of Service. Please be sure to submit
the nomination as a package that includes the letter of nomination, vita,
and three letters of support.
