Call for for Nominations for the 2012 Boyd McCandless Award

The Boyd McCandless Award recognizes an early career scientist who has made a distinguished theoretical contribution to developmental psychology, has conducted programmatic research of distinction, or has made a distinguished contribution to the dissemination of developmental science. The award is for continued efforts rather than a single outstanding work. Scientists who are within seven years of completion of their doctoral degree are eligible. The award is presented by the membership of Division 7 of the American Psychological Association, and the award winner will be invited to address the following year's meeting of the APA.

To nominate an individual, please send, preferably electronically, a letter of nomination, the candidate's CV, and suggestions for additional potential referees to the chair of the selection committee: Daniel Ansari, Department of Psychology, University of Western Ontario, London, ON N6G 2K3, CANADA. E-mail: daniel.ansari@uwo.ca.
