         This year, Division 49 (Group Psychology and Group Psychotherapy) of the American Psychological Association will again sponsor an award for the best dissertation research on small groups.  Anyone who completed a relevant dissertation during 2010 may compete.  Dissertations may examine any type of group, use any methodology, and analyze any phenomenon.  Applicants should send a brief typed summary (five pages, double spaced) to Dr. Richard Moreland at the Department of Psychology, 3103 Sennott Square, University of Pittsburgh (15260), by the end of February, 2011.  A committee will review these summaries and select three finalists, who must then submit complete copies of their dissertations for further review.  The prize, which includes $1000, a plaque, and free membership in the division for three years, will be presented in August, at the APA convention in Washington, D. C.
