Award Details
The Grawemeyer Award in Psychology is given for original and creative ideas: ideas that possess clarity, power and that substantially impact the field of psychology. These ideas help us understand one another and the world around us, and provide insights into the human mind.
The purpose of this annual award is to acknowledge and disseminate outstanding ideas in all areas of psychological science. The award is designed to recognize a specific idea, rather than a lifetime of accomplishment.
The award is accompanied by a prize of no less than $100,000, which is presented in full during the awards ceremony.
Eligibility
Ideas eligible for nomination may have an individual author or authors. The award is designed to recognize a specific idea, rather than a lifetime of achievement. The competition does not limit the format in which the idea appears. Consistent with the intent of Charles Grawemeyer, the award is not given posthumously.
