SSCP Social Justice Impact Award
Overview
The winners of this award will be clinical scientists from the ranks of members of SSCP who have made a unique and significant impact in the area of social justice (e.g., equal rights, access, opportunity, or treatment) that advances research, treatment, training, or the clinical psychology field. One award will be given to a clinical scientist (faculty member or similar) at any stage of their career. A second award will be given to a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. Impact may be reflected in numerous ways including but not limited to leadership, service, advocacy, training/mentoring and other activities aimed at advancing clinical psychology within the social justice arena.
Nominees will be evaluated on the magnitude and significance of impact. However, these criteria will be weighed in the context of career stage. Members of all underrepresented and minoritized groups are encouraged to apply.
