New for 2023: Wayne Cascio Scientist–Practitioner Award

The call for nominations for 2023 SIOP and SIOP Foundation awards, scholarships, and research grants is now open. New this year is the Wayne Cascio Scientist–Practitioner Award, which will be given in recognition of a SIOP member whose career exemplifies the scientist–practitioner model in I-O psychology. Cascio is a SIOP past president, Fellow, and long-time member.

This award underscores a central principle of I-O psychology: science and practice are equally valued and are understood as intertwined, each making the other stronger. Thus, the recipient will have influenced both the practice and science of I-O psychology. Many categories of evidence and kinds of accomplishment are relevant in assessing this influence and include:

• Introducing innovative approaches that span practice and science
• Providing evidence-based interventions, procedures, and/or metrics in organizations or for people (e.g., employees, applicants)
• Authoring influential material that appears in presentations, book chapters, journal articles, or other media outlets
• Training and mentoring scientist–practitioners
• Shaping the science and practice in one or more content areas of I-O psychology

The recipient of the award will be given a plaque and a cash prize of $1,500. In addition, the recipient will be invited to give an address related to their scientist–practitioner career at the 2023 SIOP Annual Conference in Boston. A nomination letter by a SIOP member is required; self-nominations are welcome.
