Description
The American Psychological Foundation (APF), with sponsorship from Division 5, recognizes psychologists contributing to the body of work on quantitative methods. The award emphasizes writing that can significantly improve the teaching of quantitative procedures or quantitative practices, particularly a focal book or document. Nominees are evaluated on impact, innovation, contributions to the field, and alignment with the award’s purpose.
The program combines recognition of an author’s work with support for quantitative and statistics activities in the recipient’s home department. Alongside the individual award, the department may request a grant for related research or teaching. Self-nominations and nominations by others are encouraged, and psychologists at any career stage may be nominated.
