Awards for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology in the Public Interest.

Abstract

The Awards for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology in the Public Interest recognize persons who have advanced psychology as a science and/or profession by a single extraordinary achievement or a lifetime of outstanding contributions in the public interest. Two awards are given: one to a senior psychologist and a second to a psychologist who has made a significant contribution to the public interest in the early stages of his or her career. The 2021 recipients of the APA Awards for Distinguished Contributions in the Public Interest were selected by the 2020 Committee on Psychology in the Public Interest Awards.
