Distinguished Contributions to Developmental Science

The Jean Piaget Society (JPS) seeks nominations for the Award for Distinguished Contributions to Developmental Science. The nomination letter should include descriptions of: (a) contributions to developmental science that are aligned with the aims of the Jean Piaget Society to further an understanding of the developmental construction of knowledge; and (b) the nominee’s involvement with the Jean Piaget Society, which may include Board membership and attendance at, presentations at, or organizing of annual meetings. We are especially interested in scientists who have made important contributions to developmental science and JPS, and we encourage nominations of those whose work has been generative and broadened perspectives in different ways, including through mentorship, collaborations, and interdisciplinary work. Given the nature of the award, it is expected that this award will be given to senior scholars in field. Nominations should include a CV and a nomination letter of 2-4 pages describing the nominee’s achievements and their impact on the field. Up to 3 letters of support can be submitted with the nomination package. Nominations should be submitted to Brian Cox, Chair of the JPS Awards Committee, at brian.d.cox@hofstra.edu
