APA’s Award for Distinguished Contributions to Research in Public Policy is given to a psychologist who has made a distinguished empirical and/or theoretical contribution to research in public policy, either through a single extraordinary achievement or a lifetime of work. Nicholas Dickon Reppucci is the 2018 recipient of this award. For over forty years, Reppucci “has been deeply committed to the well-being of our communities through the formulation of public policy based on social science rather than intuition.” (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)
