2009 EARLY CAREER PUBLICATION AWARD: Call for Nominations

The Division for Research seeks nominations for the 2008 Early Career Publication Award. This award recognizes an outstanding research publication by an individual within five years after completing the doctorate. Nominations are sought across all areas of Special Education as well as all forms of research methodology. The Early Career Publication Award will be presented at the Awards Ceremony and Reception of the Division for Research at the Annual CEC Convention in the spring of 2009. We invite colleagues to nominate candidates for recognition by November 1, 2008.

Nomination Procedures:
To nominate an individual for recognition, submit the following materials to the Chair of the Early Publication Award Committee by November 1, 2008:

1. Three clear copies of the article being submitted for recognition.
2. Letter of nomination in which the nominator provides an assessment of the article identifying the research method, the quality of the research, how the study extends the knowledge base, and the impact of the publication. If the article submitted has multiple authors, the contributions of the nominee to the publication must be clearly identified. The nomination letter is not to exceed three pages in length.
3. Three copies of a current resume for the article’s author.

Materials should be submitted to Janette Klingner, Chair of the Early Career Publications Award Committee, and must be received by November 1, 2008. Hard copies mailed through a postal service and emailed submissions will be accepted; emailed submissions are preferred.

3. The person nominated must be sole or first author of the article.

Review Process:
A three-person subcommittee of the DR Awards Committee will initially review all articles submitted in accordance with the nomination guidelines. Members of this subcommittee are: Janette Klingner, Rollanda O’Connor, and Terrance Scott. The subcommittee will screen the pool of articles submitted and create a short list. Evaluations may be solicited from appropriate scholars in the field based on the topics investigated in the articles constituting the short list. Feedback from these scholars to the subcommittee will be considered and a final decision reached on the recipient(s).
