APA Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Applied Research
The APA Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Applied Research is a scientific award presented by the American Psychological Association "to a psychologist whose research has led to important discoveries or developments in the field of applied psychology."
The 1997 award to John E. Exner raised a controversy, as it was seen as granting a professional endorsement to the Rorschach test, seen by some as pseudoscience.Source:
