CALL FOR NOMINATIONS:
IACM JEFFREY Z. RUBIN THEORY-TO-PRACTICE AWARD
The Jeffrey Z. Rubin Theory-to-Practice Award is co-sponsored by the IACM and The Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School (PON). It is awarded to individuals whose professional contributions emphasize their skill in moving effectively between theory and practice in their professional activities. Jeffrey Z. Rubin, the noted social psychologist, former director of the Harvard Program on Negotiation, was noted for his exceptional work on interesting and complex social phenomena. He was known for his rigorous research that had important practical implications as well as for his skill in translating findings in a manner that was accessible to both student and professional audiences. The IACM/PON Rubin Theory-to-Practice award seeks to spotlight and encourage those in the conflict management and resolution field whose research and practice sustains this tradition.
The award will be given to an individual in the conflict management/resolution field who meets the following criteria:
· His/her research work demonstrates a strong competence in theory development and empirical research
· She/he is active in applying or translating the research and theory to training and/or professional practice
Awarded by IACM on a bi-annual basis, the first recipient was Peter Carnevale in 2002. Winners of the award since then have included Tricia Jones (2004), Lisa Bingham (2006), and Linda Babcock (2008).
The award consists of a plaque and a financial award. It is co-sponsored by IACM and the Program on Negotiation, and will be presented at the annual IACM meeting in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Boston</st1:place></st1:city>, June 24-27, 2010. The recipient will be asked to give a short talk on his/her approach to "theory to practice" at the Annual Conference.
Candidates for the award may be self-nominated or nominated by a peer. Each nominee should prepare a packet of materials for consideration by the Selection Committee which this year includes the IACM past President (Mara Olekalns), current President (Michele Gelfand) and President Elect (Daniel Druckman). This packet should contain:

· A statement that presents the candidate's credentials and the way these credentials meet the key criteria of the award
· Identification of 2-3 selected articles or reports that are indicative of the candidate's attempts to bridge research and/or theory with practice.
