Submit a Nomination

Fellows of the AAPSS and current/former members of our board of directors are eligible to nominate scholars and public servants for future fellowships. We welcome the nomination of individuals who:

have made seminal and enduring contributions to social scientific discovery;
improve the human condition through the creative application of social science to problems that are important to contemporary society; and
advance the social sciences by showing policymakers and the broader public how science and evidence contribute to improved social conditions and to human flourishing.

Nominees need not be exemplary in all these respects, but it is helpful to hear from nominators about the ways in which nominees fit these criteria. Nominators are free to advocate for anyone they choose, but we encourage you to think expansively and consider nominees outside the demographics of our current cohort of Fellows. This may include individuals who are from outside the northeastern U.S. and west coast; who work in disciplines or fields in which we have relatively few Fellows (e.g. anthropology, communications, journalism, education, or law); whose professional homes are not private universities; who hold a diversity of academic, ethical, or political perspectives; and who are from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.

Nominations are open for a limited time every year: the deadline to submit nominations for 2025 AAPSS Fellows is Friday, August 2, 2024.

If you have trouble submitting materials through the form below, you may email Stacy Liu (aapss.annals@gmail.com) for instructions on how to manually submit your nomination.
