Urie Bronfenbrenner Award for Lifetime Contribution to Developmental Psychology in the Service of Science and Society

The Bronfenbrenner award is for an individual whose work has, over a lifetime career, contributed not only to the science of developmental psychology, and who has also worked to the benefit of the application of developmental psychology to society. The individual's contributions may have been made through advocacy, direct service, influencing public policy or education, or through any other routes that enable scientific developmental psychology to better the condition of children and families.

The award will be presented at the following year's APA Annual Convention.

The annual deadline is March 15.

Nominations should include a vita of the person being nominated.
