ISSI Awards for Scientific Contributions

ISSI honors two researchers each year. These awards are presented to scholars who have made important empirical and theoretical contributions to the understanding of self and identity. The Lifetime Career award is presented to a researcher who has made a sustained contribution to our understanding of self and identity throughout his or her academic career. The Early Career award is given to a researcher who has made such contributions within 10 years of obtaining a Ph.D.
