SPP Cardiology SIG Publication Awards |
Two SPP Cardiology SIG Publication Awards
SPP Cardiology SIG recognizes the importance of celebrating the successes of its talented graduate students and emerging leaders. With this in mind, we have created two new Publication Awards:
Aim: To acknowledge the published work of graduate students and early career psychologists or behavioral scientists in the field of pediatric cardiac care.
Eligibility:
For the purposes of this award, graduate students and interns must be enrolled (full- or part-time) in a graduate program in the U.S. or abroad at the time of application. Post-doctoral fellows must be active in a clinical or research fellowship program.
Early career psychologists or behavioral scientists are defined as being within 5 years of the award of their PhD/PsyD, equivalent graduate degree, or clinical training at the time of application.
Diversity will be honored and celebrated, and career disruption will be taken into consideration. If applicable, please describe any disruptions to your study or career in your application; for example maternity, sick or other leave.
The following criteria must be met by all applicants:
Application Process:
Awardees will be invited to showcase their work with the SIG.
Applications Due: 30 September 2020
Assessment Process:
A Publication Awards Assessment Committee will be formed specifically for the purpose of assessing applications. The Committee will comprise the Cardiology SIG co-chairs, one Early Career or Graduate Student Representative, and one additional assessor from the broader SIG membership.
Please feel free to contact the SIG co-chairs with any questions.
Good luck! We can’t wait to receive your application!
