Division 38 Award Information
Typically, the Division gives two awards each year for outstanding contributions to the field. One goes to a "senior" member (i.e., someone who received his/her terminal degree > 10 years ago); the other goes to a "junior" member (i.e., someone who earned his/her terminal degree within the past 10 years). Although it is not mandated, these awards usually go to individuals whose major contributions have been in research.
The Timothy B. Jeffrey Memorial Award is given by Division 38 in conjunction with the American Psychological Foundation. The award of $1,000 is intended to recognize an outstanding commitment to clinical health psychology by a full time provider of direct clinical services. Nominees should typically spend a minimum of fifteen to twenty hours weekly in direct, face to face patient care, in assessment or therapy, in individual or group settings. Additional time may be spent in professional activities such as consultation, teaching, supervision, or research.
Nominees for the Jeffrey Award should be members of Division 38, APA, and should hold a full and unrestricted license to practice psychology. Nominations must be accompanied by a CV, at least one letter of support from a non psychologist professional colleague, and one letter from a psychologist colleague. Nomination letters should describe the nominee's practice, other professional activities, and commitment to the field as a whole. A description of a clinical case in which the nominee's work has had a particular impact on an individual, family, or group is encouraged. Self nominations are welcome. Nominations or letters of support from current students or supervisees are not applicable for this award.
These awards, as well as the Student Research Awards, the Career Service Award, and any special service awards directed by the Awards Committee, are presented at the Division's Annual Business Meeting.
