The Wayne Cascio Scientist-Practitioner Award recognizes a SIOP member whose career exemplifies the scientist-practitioner model in I-O psychology.

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.

Award recipients receive a plaque and a cash prize of $3,000.

 

Administrative Procedures

  • At least five members of the SIOP Awards Subcommittee will review the letters of nomination and all supporting materials of each nominee and make a recommendation concerning one or more nominees to the SIOP Executive Board. Two or more nominees may be selected if their contributions are similarly distinguished.
  • The Executive Board may either endorse or reject the recommendations of the Awards Subcommittee but may not substitute a nominee of its own.
  • In the absence of a nominee who is deemed deserving of the award by both the Awards Subcommittee and the Executive Board, the award may be withheld.

Criteria for Eligibility

Each nominee will be evaluated on the impact they have had on both the practice and science of I-O psychology.  Many categories of evidence and kinds of accomplishment are relevant in evaluating nominees:

  •   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
