UPDATE FOR 38: MARCH 2024

SfHP SLATE of CANDIDATES ANNOUNCED!


The Nominations and Elections Committee, chaired by Andrea Bradford, PhD, is pleased to announce the 2024 slate of candidates for elected offices in the Society for Health Psychology:

Watch the listserv for a special “Election Edition” of Update for 38 to include statements from all the candidates.  Ballots will be issued by the APA Elections Office on/about April 15, and the election will run until May 31. Please plan to vote!!


Many thanks to the Committee for assembling this slate of candidates – and to all the candidates, for their willingness to serve the Society.

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 (2024) of the Society for Health Psychology. It is not required that you be a member of APA to be a member of SfHP.

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.
