The Psychonomic Society Early Career Award annually honors the distinguished research accomplishments of our early career members and fellows. Each year, up to four awardees will be named. One nominee, whose research is closest to the areas of perception and attention, will receive the Steven Yantis Early Career Award. They will be recognized at the annual meeting and will receive both a glass and a cash award ($2,500 USD). In addition, the awardees’ airfare to the meeting will be paid. The 2017 Annual Meeting will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, November 9-12.

Nominations close on March 15. Please submit nominations to info@psychonomic.org.
