Early Career Achievement Award

Deadline: March 31 of the year in which the nominee is to be considered for an award.

The award is given to someone who is less than seven years past receiving the Ph.D. The work commended must have been carried out independently of the advisor, and be independent of the doctoral work. The award includes a plaque and $1500 toward travel/registration expenses to the ASP meeting at which the individual is invited to present a featured talk.
