Student Poster Award Competition Guidelines

Student Poster Award Competition - Chicago, Illinois; May 24-27, 2012

The Society for a Science of Clinical Psychology (SSCP) hosts an annual

student poster session at the APS Annual Convention.  The winner(s) receives

$200 and "Distinguished Contributions" receive $100.  A year complimentary

membership in APS is also awarded to "Winner(s)" and those making

"Distinguished Contributions."  The number of awardees is at the discretion

of the reviewers, with the limitation that there is at least one winner.

The total amount of cash awarded has varied from $500-$1,000.

To be eligible to submit an SSCP poster, the first author of the poster must

be a graduate student and must be a member of SSCP at the time of

submission. Submissions to the SSCP graduate poster session must be

completed by January 31, 2012.

The SSCP poster submission can be on any area within scientific clinical

psychology (e.g., the etiology or correlates of psychopathology,

assessment/diagnosis, clinical judgment, psychiatric classification,

psychotherapy process or outcome, prevention, psychopharmacology). The

research and analyses presented in the poster submission must be completed

(i.e., submissions containing such language as "Data will be collected...."

will not be considered). Please be sure to provide enough relevant detail in

the summary so that reviewers can adequately judge the originality of the

study, the soundness of the theoretical rationale and design, the quality of

the analyses, the appropriateness of the conclusions, and so on.
