Awards

Awards Committee Report

The awards are announced at the Division I Business Meeting during the annual AERA meeting. Division I currently awards the following 4 categories of awards:
- New Investigator Award
- Established Investigator Award
- Outstanding Publication Award
- Distinguished Career Award (alternate years)

For both the New and Established Investigator Awards, members of those committees attend each presentation and use several criteria including organization, delivery, and responses to audience questions to determine whether both the presentation and the completed paper can be considered a significant scholarly contribution to the Division I program. The papers considered for the award may be presented in any format, whether at the podium, in a roundtable, or through a poster, although the awards have usually been given for paper presentations at the podium.

The New Investigator Award is given each year for the best paper by a new investigator. The Established Investigator Award has historically been given each year for the best paper presented at the annual meeting by an established researcher. To receive an award, a final paper or poster must present the results of a disciplined comparison of data with theory and thereby advance the cumulative knowledge in the field.

The Outstanding Research Publication Award gives out two separate awards including (1) books and (2) peer- reviewed journal articles/book chapters in alternate years. The committee accepts self-nominated works. The committee reads all materials nominated for the award, and evaluates the work based on contribution to Division I.

I would like to thank all of the committee members for the work that they do in recognition of the accomplishments of Division I. Their support of the program and the Division is invaluable.
