WAIMH New Investigator Award 2018
WAIMH offers a special award for a promising new investigator.
The purpose of the WAIMH New Investigator Award is to recognize and encourage promising new investigators in infant mental health. The applicant must be a member of WAIMH or must be sponsored by a member of WAIMH. The applicant must have earned a university degree no more than eight years prior to the application deadline. The individual selected as new investigator receives a cash award, a plaque, and acceptance of his/her paper for publication in the Infant Mental Health Journal (this involves exposure to the peer review process as a way of assisting the investigator’s professional development). In addition, the new investigator must be prepared to present his or her work at the following world congress. We now call for applications for the WAIMH New Investigator Award.
Required nomination materials for the New Investigator Award include:
A statement indicating why he/she should receive the award
A manuscript of the applicant’s research
A curriculum vitae
Submit all nominating materials in one packet to the WAIMH Central Office at office@waimh.org no later than December 31, 2017. The Programme Committee of the 16th WAIMH World Congress will decide the next WAIMH New Investigator Awardee after reviewing the applications.
