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.
