Nominations for Division 40 Fellows Sought

APA Fellow status is an honor that recognizes evidence of unusual and outstanding contribution to or performance in the field of psychology that has had impact beyond a local, state, or regional level. We in Division 40 view election as a Fellow as an honor not only for the individual but for the Division as well, and we welcome the nomination of outstanding division members for this distinction.
Nominations of Initial Fellows: The nomination procedure for a Division 40 member applying for Fellowship requires the completion and submission of a "Uniform Fellow Blank," which is available on the Division 40 website as a downloadable pdf file (click here).  Individuals who are current APA Fellows and who can address the nominee’s accomplishments in the area of Neuropsychology need to complete endorsement letters, written within the calendar year of nomination. A minimum of three (3) letters is required.  Requisite supporting materials include a current vita, a listing of the nominee's publications with "R" for refereed indicated, and the nominee's self-statement setting forth the accomplishments that warrant Fellow status in Division 40. Division 40 strongly encourages women and minority members to apply for Fellowship.
Nominations of Current Fellows: APA Members who are already Fellows in other Divisions may also become Fellows in Division 40 through a streamlined process. If another Division supports the nominee, supporting documentation from that Division should be submitted, clearly indicating the name of that Division and a contact person. Nominees are required to submit a current Curriculum Vita, a listing the nominee's publications with "R" for refereed indicated, and the nominee's self-statement setting forth the accomplishments that warrant Fellow status in Division 40.  Once the Fellows Committee, Board of Directors, and Council of Representatives have approved an APA Member for Fellow status in one division, they do not need further approval from APA to become a Fellow in additional Divisions.
All nomination materials should be completed and submitted to the Division's Fellowship Committee (not APA Central Office) by December 15th. and supported nominations will be submitted to the APA Membership Committee, for the February 15 deadline. Successful nominations are announced in August following the APA annual meeting.
