Consolidated SCCAP Awards Period

All award application timelines have been unified to one period by the SCCAP Awards Committee. The application period will open October 1 of the year before the awards are selected.

To advance its mission, SCCAP has developed a series of awards to recognize and promote excellence across the specific child and adolescent-focused domains listed in its mission statement; (a) research; (b) evidence-based practice; (c) training and career development; (d) diversity, equity, and inclusion; and (e) dissemination

The awards are a members-only benefit. To receive the monetary portion of any award an applicant must be domiciled in the United States of America or US territory.

The SCCAP nomination process is not cumbersome and self-nominations are accepted.  Most awards require submission through the application form on each award specific website page.

SCCAP encourages and welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds with respect to age, disability, gender, geography, nationality, race, religion, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
