SCCAP Distinguished Career Award for Practice and Training
This recognition is designed to highlight the outstanding work of practicing clinicians who take scientifically-derived clinical knowledge and promote, provide or share it on a broader scale (e.g., local, state, national, international), in particular with members of diverse, vulnerable or underserved groups. Note that the focus here is not on scientific productivity (e.g., publications, grants received) but on efforts that facilitate and improve the quality of evidence-based services for children and adolescents more broadly and to the general public’s access to those services.
Awardees will receive up to $1,500 toward travel to the APA Annual Convention and a $250 honorarium. They will be recognized at the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (SCCAP) business meeting at the convention.
- The nominee must be a member of SCCAP at the time of application.
- As this award is designed to recognize the practitioner members of SCCAP, individuals who work primarily as researchers are not eligible.
- Elected board members of Division 53 are not eligible.
- Self-nominations will be accepted.
While it is not a requirement, people of color clinicians and clinicians with lived experiences that enrich their work are especially encouraged to apply.
Detailed application information can be found on the Division 53 (SCCAP) website.
