Dear Division Leaders,

The American Psychological Association Prize for Interdisciplinary Team Research recognizes an interdisciplinary research team that includes one or more psychological scientists in major roles and has produced significant scientific work. The team selected for the prize will receive $5000 to help support its continued research.

Interdisciplinary research is becoming increasingly prominent across all areas of science. Research that integrates approaches from more than one field can lead to new insights into complex problems and to the development of novel interventions and technologies.

Such work often requires researchers from varied scientific backgrounds to form collaborative teams. The team members must gain an understanding of a one another’s scientific concepts, methods and cultures, and their individual efforts must be carefully coordinated.
