Committee MissionTo create opportunities for:
Social Policy AwardsThe Social Policy Achievement Award recognizes outstanding contributions to adolescent development through impactful policy work. We invite nominations that highlight significant achievements in policy research, dissemination, and influence. Nominations from a variety of disciplines, career backgrounds, settings, and training levels are encouraged. Multiple nominators, single nominators, and self-nominations are welcome. The Social Policy Publication Award recognizes outstanding publications that have made significant contributions to the field of adolescent development and social policy. We welcome nominations for papers authored by trainees and established investigators, where publications address policy in any country or community. This award is presented to a single researcher or group of researchers who have authored or edited books, book chapters, journal special issues, journal articles, or similar publications. Works published between 2020 and 2025 are eligible for nomination. Nominations from SRA members in a variety of disciplines are welcome, and self-nominations are strongly encouraged. At least one author/contributor must be a current member of SRA to be eligible to receive any award, and nominations must be submitted by current SRA members. Members may find the Sage Policy Profiles tool helpful in preparing nominations. 2024 Awardees
