The Family Section Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Award
This award was established in 1995.

​Deadline: 3/15/2019
Graduate students are invited to submit an article-length paper on the family. The paper should represent a finished product rather than a proposal for future work. The submission can be based on a course paper, a journal article, a manuscript under review at a journal, or a conference presentation. Co-authored papers are acceptable if all authors are students, although the prize will be shared. The paper must have been written when the author was enrolled in a graduate program, and submitted or published in 2017 or 2018. The paper may not exceed 30 pages or 11,000 words. Following our bylaws, the chair of the award committee is the chair of the section, Sharon Sassler.
​
There are two ways to nominate a paper:
  1. Post the paper on any non-profit open repository or public website, and email a link for the paper to the chair.
  2. Send an electronic copy of the paper directly to the chair (Sharon Sassler, sharon.sassler@cornell.edu).
The method of submission will not affect the committee’s evaluation of the paper for the award.
