*Boyd McCandless Award*


Sponsored by APA’s Division 7 (Developmental Psychology),  the Boyd
McCandless Award <https://www.apadivisions.org/division-7/awards/mccandless>
recognizes a young scientist who has made a distinguished theoretical
contribution to developmental psychology, has conducted programmatic
research of distinction, or has made a distinguished contribution to the
dissemination of developmental science. The award is for continued efforts
rather than a single outstanding work.

Eligibility: Scientists who are within *eight years* of completion of the
doctoral degrees are eligible, and for the 2022 award (to be judged in
2021), nominees should have received their degrees in 2013 or later. *(Note
that eligibility is typically within seven years of completion of the
doctoral degree. For this year's award, eligibility has been extended to
eight years in recognition of the ongoing pandemic.) *In special
circumstances when the scientist has taken an extended leave of absence
(e.g., for his/her own serious health condition, for the birth or care of
his/her child, to care for an immediate family member who has a serious
health condition, etc.), one extra year of eligibility may be granted. Any
scientist wishing to be considered for an extra year of eligibility should
submit a letter explaining the circumstances to the Chairs of the Award
Committee along with official documentation of the leave.

Application: The annual deadline is March 15.

Nominations should include:

·        A letter of nomination.

·        The nominee’s curriculum vitae.

·        Up to four representative publications.

·        Suggestions for three potential referees.
