APPIC Award for Excellence in Training
This award recognizes outstanding psychologists who demonstrate a history of excellence in innovative training and teaching in APPIC member internship and postdoctoral training programs, and/or a history of administrative activities that support and advance innovative training and teaching in APPIC member programs. Nominees do not have to be a Training Director but must work at an APPIC member training site. Any individual or group can submit nominations, but the nominator(s) must be faculty, staff, administrator, Training Director, or trainee at an APPIC member internship or postdoctoral training program (self-nominations are not permitted).

TEPP Award
This award is given to stimulate, recognize, and reward contributions to scholarly and applied knowledge related to psychology education and training, and is a collaborative effort between APPIC and Training and Education in Professional Psychology. An outstanding contribution is broadly defined to include exceptional empirical, theoretical, conceptual, applied, and/or methodological contributions that substantially and significantly advance a particular topic or area within psychology education or training. The TEPP editorial staff nominates one paper per TEPP volume year to be considered by the APPIC Board.
Award Procedures
Nominations for the Excellence in Training and Excellence in Diversity Training should be in the form of a letter no more than two pages in length and must be submitted by April 16, 2012 to Jenny Cornish (chair, APPIC Awards Committee) at jennifer.cornish@du.edu . The nominating statement should be in the first sentence and clearly specify the specific training award for which recognition is sought (letters that request recognition of more than one award will not be reviewed). In addition, an electronic copy of the nominee’s CV must be submitted as an email attachment. The Awards Committee may keep applications for up to three years to review for selection in subsequent years.
Nominations for the TEPP award are made by the TEPP editorial staff to the APPIC Board. Nominations are based on the unique contribution of the article, and the anticipated or experience impact of the article on psychology education and training.
The APPIC Board votes on and chooses all award winners.
Awards Ceremony
All award recipients receive a plaque and a check for $500.00 to be presented at the APPIC business meeting during the annual APA convention. Award winners need not be present to receive the award.
Questions? Questions about these awards may be directed to Jenny Cornish at jennifer.cornish@du.edu or 303-871-4737.
Connie Hercey APPIC Distinguished Service Award
This award was established in 2011 to honor Connie Hercey’s 20+ years of service to APPIC as Executive Director before her retirement in 2010. The award will be presented as qualified recipients are nominated, with preference given to those who have served APPIC well over time in a meaningful way through service, projects, and leadership roles. Nominations will be solicited annually from the APPIC Board and will be reviewed by the APPIC Board Awards Committee. There is no expectation for an annual winner, but instead, the award will be presented as qualified individuals are selected.
