Cheiron Young Scholar Award

[Larry Stern]

Cheiron Young Scholar Award

Since 2008, Cheiron has awarded a prize for the best paper or symposium presentation by a young scholar at its yearly conference. To be eligible for consideration, the young scholar must be the sole or first author of the paper and must be responsible for the bulk of the work of the paper.

“Young scholars” are defined as those currently working toward their degree as well as those who have completed their master’s or doctoral work not more than 5 years prior to this year’s meeting.

Applicants should submit a “slightly edited”’ version of the paper presented at this summer’s conference in at The Cummings Center for the History of Psychology. This may include small changes or additions, but the finished polished paper should not exceed 5000 words (including footnotes). Applicants should use the style required by the Journal of the History of the Behavioral and Social Sciences (JHBS).

Submissions should be sent to Larry Stern (lst...@collin.edu), Cheiron’s Executive Officer. Entries will be judged by members of this year’s Program Committee and Cheiron’s Review Committee. The winner will receive a certificate from Cheiron and will be encouraged to submit his or her paper to the Journal of the History of Behavioral Sciences within a reasonable period of time. The Award winner may ask reviewers for assistance in preparing the paper for submission to JHBS. If the paper is accepted by JHBS for publication, the winner will receive a $500 honorarium from the publisher, Wiley Blackwell, in recognition of the Cheiron Young Scholar Award.

We encourage all those who qualify as “Young Scholars” to submit their work. However, please note that the award committee may decide that submissions do not meet the standards required for receipt of the award and elect not to name a winner in any given year

The deadline for submissions is September 15, 2024 and should be sent to Larry Stern, Executive Officer, at lst...@collin.edu.
