The APS Interest Group on the Psychology of Relationships is calling for nominations for two research awards. The awards are intended to promote the development of research regarding relationship education and/or therapy within the discipline of psychology. Thesis Award Nominees should have completed their higher degree (Masters, Professional Doctorate or PhD) within one year of nominating.
Research Award Nominees should have been involved in research and/or practice in the area of relationships for at least five years. For both awards applications will be judged on scientific merit and the contribution to theory and/or practice in the field of the psychology of relationships. Nominees should be a member of, or have applied for membership of, the APS. Nominations may be made by the individual or by a colleague.
