This Diversity Award will be given to one qualifying ACBS member each year who disseminates CBS work aimed at advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Specifically, the award focuses on dissemination of work across categories including gender, race, ethnicity, language, income, sexual/gender identity, religion, and disability. This work can be disseminated through research publications, teaching, clinical work, and/or community service.
Requirements:
1. Candidates must be a member of ACBS.
2. Candidates should provide the name of an individual who would be willing to complete a brief reference form, such as a collaborator, co-author, or member of the community in which the work is disseminated. (Individuals who nominate another person must complete the reference.)
Nominations/applications will be accepted annually between 15 August and 30 September, with the awardee determined by the ACBS Awards Committee with the assistance of the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee. Award recipients will receive a certificate and the option of either:
One free ACBS World Conference registration for one of the two next World Conferences
Or
One free ACBS World Conference registration for one of the two next World Conferences, donated in your name, to a DEI scholarship applicant selected by the ACBS Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee.
If awarded, the registration portion of this scholarship may only be used to offset the main conference registration fees (the scholarship may not be applied to any other expense). If an individual is awarded more than one scholarship in the same conference year, the total value of all scholarships may not exceed the total cost of the ACBS World Conference registration fee.
