The AAPOR Award is the Association’s lifetime achievement award. It is given for an outstanding contribution to the field of public opinion research, including: advances in theory, empirical research and methods; improvements in ethical standards; and promotion of understanding among the public, media and/or policy makers
The Warren J. Mitofsky Innovators Award is designed to recognize
accomplishments in the fields of public opinion and survey research
that occurred in the past ten years (1994 or later), or that had their
primary impact on the field during the past decade. These innovations
could consist of new theories, ideas, applications, methodologies or
technologies. To be considered for the award, they must be publicly
documented. The award can be given to individuals, groups or
institutions.
The Seymour Sudman Student Paper Competition award is in memory of Seymour Sudman; it recognizes his many important contributions to AAPOR as well as his teaching and mentoring students in the survey research profession. .
The AAPOR Policy Impact Award
was developed to acknowledge that a key purpose of opinion and other survey research is to facilitate better informed decisions. The award recognizes outstanding research that has had a clear
impact on improving policy decisions, practice, and discourse, either
in the public or private sectors.
The AAPOR Book Award seeks to recognize influential books that have stimulated theoretical and scientific research in public opinion; and/or influenced our understanding or application of survey research methodology. It is given to books published after 1992, the last year encompassed in AAPOR’s list of “Fifty Books That Have Significantly Shaped Public Opinion Research.”
