G. Stanley Hall Award for Distinguished Contribution to Developmental Psychology
Submissions accepted Jan. 1 – March 15.
The G. Stanley Hall award is given to a single individual (sometimes a research team) who has made distinguished contributions to developmental psychology, including contributions in research, student training, and other scholarly endeavors. Evaluations are based on the scientific merit of the individual's work, the importance of this work for opening up new empirical or theoretical areas of development psychology, and the importance of the individual's work in linking developmental psychology with issues confronting the larger society or with other disciplines.
The membership of Div. 7 will present the award at the following year’s APA Annual Convention.
Membership in APA’s Div. 7 is required to earn an award.
The annual deadline is March 15.
Nominations should include a vita of the person being nominated.
