The Aging and Health Committee of the Division 38 is soliciting nominations for the recipient of the 2011 Developmental Health Award, which will be given at APA in Washington, DC. This award was established in 1996. Seven awards have been given: M. Powell Lawton (1997), Janice Kiecolt-Glaser (1999), Howard Leventhal (2001), Richard Schulz (2003), Karen Rook (2005), Ilene Siegler (2007), and Margaret Gatz (2009). This biennial award recognizes individuals who have made scholarly contributions to the fields of health and aging.
Members of Divisions 20 and/or 38 can nominate candidates for the award. Each nomination should be accompanied by a 100-200 word summary of the nominee's credentials, and reasons why the nominee should be recognized with this award. Nominations should be submitted to the Committee Chair, Lynn Martire at lmm51@psu.edu, no later than February 14, 2011. Nominations and supporting summaries will be compiled and sent to members of the Aging and Health Committee. Members of the Committee will vote for the award recipient. When the recipient has been determined, an announcement will be sent to the listservs of Divisions 20 and 38. The recipient will give an invited address at the Award Ceremony at APA in August.
We encourage you to submit nominations of worthy scholars whose work bridges the fields of health and aging.
