Deadline: February 15, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. PST

The deadline to submit awardee information has passed. If you have have any late requests, please send them directly to sigs@aera.net. Please do not use this online form at this time.

Each year, no later than February 15, SIGs are required to report their awardee information to the AERA central office. Once reported to AERA, the awardee decision is considered final. All SIG award certificates, plaques, and checks are prepared by the AERA central office.

All SIG awards require advance approval by the AERA Executive Board. AERA-approved awards have a set of guidelines specifying the selection procedures, scope, and criteria for each award. Certificates, plaques, and award checks will only be issued for those awards that appear on the official List of AERA-Approved SIG Awards. SIGs interested in submitting a petition for a new award can find more information on the Resources for SIG Officers page.

Please use the form below to submit your SIG awardee information to the AERA central office and to request award certificates, plaques, and checks. SIGs may also give certificates of appreciation recognizing an individual's contribution to the SIG (enter "Certificate of Appreciation" in the "Award Name" field). If an award has multiple recipients, please use the “Add New Awardee” button to add each awardee one at a time when entering the award details.

Award certificates are $18 each. Plaques are $50 each. The SIG will be charged internally for any items requested, as well as all shipping/mailing costs (if applicable). This will be reflected in the SIG's financial statement. All award certificates, plaques, and checks not distributed at the 2025 AERA Annual Meeting will be mailed to the awardee/recipient immediately following the meeting. Important Note: When completing the form below, you must provide a verified email and mailing address for each award recipient in case the award materials need to be mailed after the Annual Meeting.

SIGs are responsible for notifying their awardees that they will be receiving an award; the central office does not notify awardees directly. Please notify your award winners by February 15 so that awardees have sufficient time to register for the 2025 Annual Meeting.

Please do not use this form to request graduate student travel awards or sponsored Annual Meeting registrations for graduate students and early career scholars. Please use the separate form for graduate student travel awards available here and/or the form for sponsored Annual Meeting registrations available here.

Please contact the Governance Office at sigs@aera.net or at 202-238-3204 should you have any questions.
