This award recognizes the exceptional contributions and achievements of an early career scholar working within interest areas of Div. 34: environmental, population and/or conservation psychology.The ultimate aim of the award is to recognize individuals who are making significant contributions to the field early in their careers. As such, nominees should be investigators who have made substantial contributions to environmental, population and/or conservation issues research within 10 years of receiving their doctorate and who have demonstrated the potential to continue such contributions in the future. The award includes a certificate, an invitation to give an address at the upcoming APA convention and a complimentary one-year membership in Div. 34 for the following calendar year.

Nominees need not be current members of Div. 34, but their innovative and substantial research and/or practice should clearly reflect the division’s aims and focus on environmental, population and/or conservation psychology. Nominees do not have to currently hold an academic position; individuals working in nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies or other practice-oriented positions may be considered for the award.

Nominations should consist of a detailed statement indicating why the nominee is a worthy candidate for the Early Career Award, as well as one or more supporting letters from others who endorse the nomination.
