Outstanding Research Publication Award

Description

The Foundation for the Advancement of Human Systems annually confers up to two awards to recognize a published article, monograph, book chapter, or book representing an outstanding
scholarly achievement in systemic therapy research. Outstanding scholarly achievement is construed broadly to include a variety of methods and inquiry (quantitative, qualitative, or
conceptual), and a variety of findings, including those that confirm previous work, challenge previous work, or generate new areas of inquiry.

Criteria

This award may be self-nominated or nominated by a third party, and at least one applicant must be a member of AAMFT. The nominator must submit the article and a written statement
(500 words max) explaining why the article should be selected.

Required Materials

All self-nominations require a letter of recommendation to be submitted with materials.

Award

The award consists of:

  • An engraved plaque presented at an AAMFT event (virtual or in person).
  • Reimburse up to $500 per recipient for travel to the SFTC for the year the conference is held in person. If the award is given during virtual years, the awardee may use the travel award toward the upcoming Advanced Institutes or Leadership Symposium.
  • The event registration fee will also be waived for the award recipient(s) (when applicable).
 

How to apply:  In order to quality for this award, interested candidates must complete an online application  .  

Note: The event registration fee will also be waived for the award recipient(s) (when applicable).
The AAMFT Systemic Family Therapy Conference registration fee will be waived for all award recipients. In order to avoid the perception of a conflict of interest, anyone who is on the AAMFT, The Foundation for the Advancement of Human Systems, or AAMFT sponsored payroll is ineligible to be considered for an award so long as that financial relationship exists.  All award recipients must be members of AAMFT with the exception of those receiving the Excellence in Media award, and at least one author of the Outstanding Research Publication award must be a member.
