2020 PNS Student Awards
PNS has offered two annual student research awards since 1999: the President's Award ($250) and the Francis Fields Memorial Award ($250).
Neuropsychology students are encouraged to submit abstracts of their original pre-doctoral research for one of these two PNS student research awards. Winners present their work at our May Monthly Meeting. Submissions are accepted for either empirical research or for a case presentation. Students in any year of a psychology graduate program that includes neuropsychology coursework, research, and/or clinical experiences are eligible to submit. Students attending graduate school in the Philadelphia area are eligible to apply.
Students do not need to be PNS members to submit their work. Research conducted as part of post-doctoral training is not eligible. Previous student award winners are not eligible. Students may submit multiple abstracts for consideration, but may not receive more than one award.
Submission deadline is currently 5/15
