Patricia M. Bricklin Student Ethics Award

The PPA Ethics Committee and the Pennsylvania Psychological Foundation have instituted the Patricia M. Bricklin Student Award, which is given to a graduate student in psychology who is a resident of Pennsylvania or who is attending graduate school in psychology in Pennsylvania, who produces a meritorious work product dealing with ethics or law in psychology. A graduate student may submit one work product each year. The submission may be a formal paper, but it may be another work product such as a copy of a presentation to the class, analysis of vignettes, ethics diary, or other product that demonstrates considerable sophistication in understanding ethical rules or principles. Submissions are limited to 40 pages (12 point, Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1-inch page margins on all sides).

Submissions may be from a single author or multiple authors. The submission should include the author's name, address, email address, telephone number, and college or university on a cover sheet only - not on the work product. If there are multiple authors, the work should be submitted in the names of the authors who are students (although all contributing authors must be noted). The first author must be a graduate student in psychology, and all graduate students who authored the work must be eligible to receive the award jointly. Each faculty member or other psychologist whose name is listed as an author must sign and submit the following statement:

"The student(s) who are submitting this work are the principal authors, having undertaken and written the project. My role in the project is advisory."

The Pennsylvania Psychological Foundation sponsors this award, which is determined by the Ethics Committee and will be presented at PPA's Annual Convention in June. Also, the award winner(s) will be offered the opportunity to write an article for The Pennsylvania Psychologist.
