The committee selects two awards annually—Award for Distinguished Contributions to Education and Training in Psychology (can be given as a career award) and Award for Distinguished Contributions of Applications of Psychology to Education and Training. The intent of the awards program is to recognize psychologists who make traditional contributions, who provide innovations, or who are involved in developmental phases of programs that influence education and training in psychology.
