Announcement: Cattell Sabbatical Awards 2009-2010 Competition

------------------------------------------------------------------------ The James McKeen Cattell Sabbatical Awards ------------------------------------------------------------------------

For over half a century, the James McKeen Cattell Fund has provided support for the science and the application of psychology. The Fund offers a program of supplementary sabbatical awards ("James McKeen Cattell Fund Fellowships"). These awards supplement the regular sabbatical allowance provided by the recipients' home institutions, to allow an extension of leave-time from one to two semesters. Information on the history of the fund, as well as all application materials, requirements for award eligibility, and a list of previous recipients are available at: http://www.cattell.duke.edu/ or http://www.psychologicalscience.org/awards/cattellfund/ The deadline for receipt of applications for sabbaticals commencing in the 2009-2010 academic year is December 1, 2008. We are pleased to announce that the Cattell Sabbatical Award Fund has formed an alliance with the Association for Psychological Science (APS). Cattell Sabbatical Awardees are announced annually at the APS Spring Meeting and a profile of each awardee is published in the APS Observer. APS also has a website announcing the award.
