Early Career Contribution Award

This award recognizes excellent young psychologists who have had their PhD for ten years or less.

Description

The recipient could be cited for applied or scientific work. The award winner receives a plaque and a $500 award and is invited to give an address at the upcoming APA convention on a topic of his or her choice. The winner is required to present their work at the APA convention within two years of receiving the award in order to receive the cash component of the award which is typically offered in the form of reimbursement for convention travel-related expenses. Ideally, the winner gives an invited address at the following year’s APA convention.

In the event two people receive this award in the same year, they will split the cash prize.
