Submission-based Awards

The Society recognizes excellence in research with two annual awards based on papers submitted to the Annual Meeting:

  • The Outstanding Student Paper Award

The Outstanding Student Paper Award (OSPA) recognizes quality in work that is predominantly that of a graduate student. Accordingly, the student must be first author on the paper.
The student’s major advisor must send an email to stdconference2011@gmail.com certifying that this work has been done primarily by the student, and a paragraph-length recommendation of the paper for the award. The subject line for the email must be "OSPA Certification."

  • The Jason Albrecht Outstanding Young Scientist Award

The Jason Albrecht Outstanding Young Scientist Award (JAOYSA) honors the memory of Jason Albrecht, a promising young text and discourse researcher who passed away in 1996. The award recognizes an outstanding paper based on a doctoral dissertation. The doctoral candidate or recent doctorate must be first author on the paper.
The student’s dissertation advisor must send an email to stdconference2011@gmail.com certifying that the work is based on the nominee’s doctoral dissertation, and recommending the candidate for the award. The subject line for the email must be "JAOYSA Certification."

Proposals eligible for the Jason Albrecht Outstanding Young Scientist Award and the Outstanding Student Paper Award will undergo two reviews: one by the regular Program Review Committee and a second by the Awards Committee. Only proposals that are accepted for presentation as spoken papers on the program will be considered for the awards. Finalists may be asked for additional information regarding the submission for the final award review process.

Recipients of each award receive a certificate and a $150 award check.
