UPDATE FOR 38: FEBRUARY 2024

Each year, the Society for Health Psychology (SfHP) recognizes members for outstanding contributions to the field by presenting awards in Research, Clinical Practice, Education & Training, Mentoring, and Career Service. Award categories acknowledge and appreciate excellence in health psychology across the career span and throughout the field.


The nomination process is simple and will not take a great deal of time. Most awards require a 1-2 page letter describing the nominee’s work and why that person is worthy of recognition, as well as a current CV. Click below for full details (including special requirements for some awards).


All nominees must be current members of the Society for Health Psychology. 

Each award is accompanied by a $500 honorarium.


Nominations should be sent as e-mail attachments to the Society’s Administrative Office (apadiv38@verizon.net) by March 31. Notifications are made in April. Nominations received after the deadline may be considered for the following year.


Please take a moment to think of colleagues whose work exemplifies the mission of the Society, and then take a half hour to honor someone who inspires you. Nominate a colleague (or yourself) today!


To facilitate participation of the Society’s award winners, their nominators, and our membership, the awards ceremony will be held virtually on September 25 at 4:00pm EDT.
