Fellowship Nomination

 Fellowship Criteria

The full Code of Procedure and Requirements for Fellowship Status document is available for download in PDF format.

• Nominations can be made from December 1 through February 1.
• The nominee must have been a regular member of the Society for a minimum of 5 years.
• Fellowship nominations must be made by an active fellow.
  • GSA maintains a list of active fellows.
  • The nominator must be a member of the same section as the nominee.
• Fellowship nominations must include the following items:
  • Nomination letter from a fellow of your section. (The letter must address the general criteria as well as section-specific criteria.)
  • Endorsement letter from an additional fellow of your section.
  • A current curriculum vitae (CV).

In addition to the above requirements, each section has its own set of criteria. Please review your section's criteria before submitting your nomination:

• Biological Sciences
• Behavioral & Social Sciences
• Health Sciences
• Social Research, Policy, & Practice

After your application has been submitted, it will go through several stages of reviews. Results will be provided by mail before the Society's Annual Scientific Meeting in November, where all new fellows will be recognized at their Section's Community (Business) Meeting. Here new fellows will be presented their fellowship certificates and pins.

Once a nomination for fellowship has been accepted, there will be no communication regarding the status of the nomination until the various fellowship committees have made their decision. Attempts to communicate with the fellowship committees will be rerouted to GSA's fellowship coordinator. If you need further information or assistance, please use the Contact Us form.
