SAGES Award Recipients, 2009

by Frances Cherry, Selection Committee Chair

 

The SAGES program was developed to tap the experiences of retired social scientists who would like to be more involved in intervention projects or other activities that would allow them to use their research expertise to assist in solving social problems.  Grants are available to applicants who are SPSSI members and are retired or over the age of 60.  This year’s SAGES Committee included Dr. Warren Thorngate, Dr. Cynthia Deutsch, and Dr. Frances Cherry (Chair).  The following scholars were awarded:
