ASP EMCR Award
In 2021 the Australasian Society for Psychophysiology launched an Early-to-Mid-Career Researcher (EMCR) Award to recognize members who have demonstrated outstanding research impact and research excellence in psychophysiology. This Award consists of a total cash prize of $2000, and the awardee will present a keynote talk at the upcoming ASP conference.
For equity, the EMCR Award is open in alternating years to:
Early Career Researchers within 3 years of their PhD conferral, in even years from 2022
Early-Mid Career Researchers (3-7 years from PhD conferral) commencing in 2021 (odd years)
