Applications Invited for:

Awards for Papers Published in 2012 in the International Journal of Eating Disorders (IJED)

The International Journal of Eating Disorders (IJED) and Wiley invite applications for two awards, each in the amount of $2,500, for outstanding IJED papers that have appeared in print in 2012. Each award is described below.  Please note that equal consideration will be given to empirical and non-empirical (e.g., review) papers in both categories.
 
Awardees will be notified in late March 2013.  Awards will be presented during the Awards Ceremony of the International Conference on Eating Disorders on May 4, 2013, in Montréal, Canada.

AWARD CATEGORY ONE: Best Paper by an Early Career Investigator

Candidates must be a) current “trainee” (students, interns or residents), or b) within 5 years of receiving their most advanced degree.
 
Nominations (including self-nominations) should be sent to Dr. Howard Steiger, IJED Associate Editor, at stehow@douglas.mcgill.ca and include the complete citation of the article, including names of any co-authors.  Documentation from the relevant official or institution certifying trainee status or the date of the applicant’s graduation from the Academic Program should also be sent to Dr. Steiger via email attachment. This certification must be received prior to the Committee’s review of candidate papers. Past Awardees are not eligible for additional consideration. We are truly delighted to be able to offer this special support to early career investigators.

AWARD CATEGORY TWO: Outstanding Scientific Contribution

Nominations (including self-nominations) should be submitted to the Editor directly at rstriegel@wesleyan.edu and include the complete citation of the article, including names of any co-authors.  Investigators at all levels of development (early-, middle-, and late-career) are eligible to apply, although individuals who received any IJED/Wiley award within the past 5 years (including an Early Career Award) are ineligible for this award.
 
Submission deadline for all applications: February 15, 2013
