APF encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds with respect to age, race, color, religion, creed, nationality, ability, sexual orientation, gender, and geography.

Applicants must:

• be a graduate student or an early career psychologist
• submit a manuscript that has not been previously published
• provide a letter of recommendation from a colleague or mentor, ideally an APA Division 42 member or other psychologist not related to the applicant and not a co-author. The letter of recommendation should speak to the applicant’s graduate or early career accomplishments. 

In the case of multi-authored manuscripts, the role of each co-author should be described, and the award candidate’s role must be clearly primary.

Eligible Countries:
