Call for Award Nominations
The Society of Pediatric Psychology, Division 54 and CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control jointly announce a new Student Research Competition to encourage and reward quality research on issues related to unintentional injury prevention in children and adolescents. An award of $1000 will be made to the winner of the competition, and the individual selected will be named a SPP/CDC Injury Prevention Fellow. Applications are due by October 1, 2008.
All of the research work must have been completed while the candidate was a student. The student must be the primary (first) author. A cover letter describing the candidate's status at the time the research was conducted should accompany the entry. A letter from the student's faculty advisor is required that describes the degree to which the project objectives, design, data collection, data analysis, and manuscript preparation are the responsibility of the applicant. Thus, studies that are fully student initiated, as well as those that are part of a larger funded project but for which the student assumes primary responsibility from beginning to end, may be submitted for consideration for the competitive award. Only empirical (data-based) studies will be considered.
Papers should be written following the guidelines outlined in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition). The paper should not have been published already, but will be considered for the award if only submitted or under review. There is a limit of 20 double-spaced pages including tables, figures, and references. Papers that exceed this limit will not be reviewed. Please email the manuscript in word format (not PDF) and supporting materials to Tonya Palermo, PhD at palermot@ohsu.edu.
