Early Researcher Awards
Graduate students should keep September 14, 2007 in mind as the submission deadline for the 2007 Early Researcher Awards. These awards, sponsored by the APA Science Student Council, recognize outstanding student researchers who are currently early in their graduate training (i.e., this should be recently completed research, within approximately twelve months preceding the submission deadline). The Council is unable to accept submissions from advanced graduate students for research completed earlier in their graduate training. Submissions for research in progress will also not be accepted.
Strong preference will be given to students who demonstrate outstanding research abilities earlier in their graduate training (i.e., up to and including master's thesis or equivalent), and who show a considerable level of independence in conducting their research.
Up to three awards will be given in 2007, drawn from basic science, applied science, and/or interdisciplinary science areas. Each recipient will receive an award of $1,000.

Dissertation Research Awards
The Science Directorate of the American Psychological Association sponsors an annual competition for dissertation research funding. This award program assists doctoral students of psychology with research costs by awarding 30-40 grants of $1,000 each, and a few larger grants of up to $5,000. Awards are provided to students whose dissertation research clearly reflects excellence in scientific psychology.
Dissertation research in any area of psychology is eligible for the award, although not more than three applications per year may be forwarded by each psychology department. Eligible students must have had their dissertation proposals approved by their dissertation committees prior to the application deadline, but must not yet have received their doctoral degree. Students who are not yet members of APA may apply for membership concurrently with their award application.
The deadline for Dissertation Research Award application packets to arrive at the Science Directorate is September 14, 2007. More information about this exciting opportunity can be found at: <outbind://http://www.apa.org/science/dissinfo.html>www.apa.org/science/dissinfo.html
