Committee on Socioeconomic Status Leadership Awards: Organizations
APA's Committee on Socioeconomic Status (CSES) invites nominations, including self-nominations, for the CSES Leadership Awards. CSES Leadership Awards recognize the outstanding achievements of psychologists, students of psychology, and organizations which have made significant contributions to the understanding of socioeconomic status and the lives and well-being of the socioeconomically disadvantaged by:
- promoting scientific understanding of the impact of poverty and SES on health, education, and human welfare
- developing applications of psychology that address the effects of SES on psychological development and well-being
- advocating for social policy that will alleviate or reduce disparities among SES groups
This organizational award will recognize organizations who contribute in the well-being of the socioeconomically disadvantaged, therefore making tremendous strides in reducing socioeconomic-related disparities in and around their communities.
This award is presented to organizations where the APA Annual Convention will take place.
All nominations and supporting materials will be accepted as electronic submissions only. Nominations that are incomplete, and/or arrive after the deadline will not be considered. Award recipients will be selected by the CSES in the spring, and the awards will be presented at APA Annual Convention.
A optional letter of recommendation can be submitted on behalf of organizations. The letter should be no more than two pages long, double-spaced, explaining the nature of the organization's work.
