Outstanding Contribution Award
This is awarded to a PA Professional or Associate member who has made an outstanding research (experimental, theoretical, scholarly) or service contribution that has advanced the discipline of parapsychology.
The recipient receives a plaque at the annual convention, and us invited, if he or she wishes, to present an address (30 minutes maximum), preferably at the PA Annual Convention in the year following the award, or, if it is preferred by the awardee, no later than at that convention the second year following the award. The willingness to give such an address is not, however, a condition for receipt of the award.Â
