Dissertation Award
This award honors a recent dissertation by someone whose research on small groups seems especially promising. The winner is announced and the prize is conferred at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association. Included in the award are $500, a plaque, and a three-year membership in the Division.
Eligibility
Only dissertations that were completed during the prior calendar year are eligible, but the research described in those dissertations can explore any group phenomenon, using any methodology to investigate any type of group. A committee reviews all the abstracts and selects three finalists, who then submit complete copies of their dissertations for the committee's evaluation.
