It is important to recognize the labor and commitment involved in improving psychological science, including through research (both academic and non-academic), tools, practice, science communication, and more.
To this end, the SIPS Awards Committee gives out two types of awards to recognize projects that further the SIPS mission: SIPS Mission Awards and Commendations. These are recognition awards and come with no monetary prize. Awards are for projects rather than people to acknowledge the importance of collective efforts.
We welcome nominations for projects conducted anywhere in the world by anyone with any professional background. Projects and nominations can be in any language (for nominations not in English we will use translation tools). We particularly encourage nominations for projects conducted in Global Majority countries and/or by minoritized populations.
Nominations for SIPS awards are sought year-round. All projects are nominated through one form, and the SIPS Awards Committee will select Mission Award and Commendation winners annually.
To be considered for the next round, please make your nominations through this form by April 30.
For more detail on SIPS awards, see here.
Mission Award
Mission Awards recognize and increase awareness of a limited number of exemplary projects that have made a far reaching contribution to the SIPS mission. See the below list for previously awarded Mission Awards.
Commendations
Commendations are a way to give recognition to projects that support the SIPS Mission, including (but not limited to) contributions that are not typically formally recognized by professional societies (e.g., blog posts, podcasts). See the below list for previously awarded Commendations.
