Awards & Recognition
Christopher M. Berry, University of Minnesota, was awarded the 2006 Meredith P. Crawford Fellowship in Industrial-Organizational Psychology by the Human Resources Research Organization (HumRRO). This award and its $12,000 prize go annually to a doctoral student demonstrating exceptional research skills, academic achievement, and professional productivity.
The Federation of Behavioral, Psychological, and Cognitive Science (FBPCS) held its 12th Annual Coalition for National Science Funding Congressional Exhibition and Reception on June 7, 2006. SIOP recently joined the Federation, and Michele Gelfand (University of Maryland, College Park) was asked to present her NSF-sponsored research on behalf of the Federation and SIOP. The title of her exhibit was “Historical, Ecological, and Socio-Political Factors Affecting National Culture: Insights From Cross-Cultural Psychology.” The exhibit is an important and popular event on Capitol Hill each year, which attracts members of Congress, congressional staff, leading figures from the National Science Foundation, and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, to name a few. This year there were over 330 attendees which included six members of Congress.
