J. Konadu Fokuo, PhD
2021 ECP Award Winner
Application deadline is July 15, 2023.
This award, named in honor of the National Register’s CEO from 2014 through 2022, is presented annually to two currently enrolled students in good standing in an APA- or CPA-accredited doctoral program in psychology and members of the National Register Associate Program. The award is designed to advance clinically oriented research projects that optimize the contributions of health service psychologists in the broader healthcare environment and that further the National Register’s goals of increasing psychology’s role in interprofessional health service. The Register will prioritize original research projects that advance our understanding of the effectiveness of psychological interventions and their contribution toward improved patient outcomes.
Each recipient will receive a plaque, a check for $5,000 to fund their project, and an award citation in the Journal of Health Service Psychology.

This award, named in honor of the National Register’s Executive Officer from 1990 through 2013, is presented annually to a National Register credentialed psychologist with fewer than 10 years of postdoctoral experience. The successful Early Career Psychologist will conduct a research project aimed at enhancing the contributions of psychology to health care. Such proposals may (1) examine the effectiveness of new or existing interventions, or (2) evaluate the implementation of psychological interventions to improve patient outcomes. Studies examining the efficacy of psychological interventions to mitigate the effects of adverse childhood experiences or negative social determinants of health will also qualify. Theoretical reviews, non-applied studies, and proposals to enhance an individual or group practice are not eligible.
The recipient will receive a plaque, a check for $10,000 to fund their research project, and an award citation in the Journal of Health Service Psychology.

These awards, named in honor of the National Register’s first Executive Officer, are the highest honors bestowed by the National Register.

The research excellence award will honor a recipient who has made—through research—a significant lifetime contribution toward health service psychology. The practice award will be presented to a psychologist who has demonstrated—via clinical innovation, outreach, legislation, community engagement, or policy and social advocacy—that they have advanced the standing of health service psychology.

I am incredibly honored and grateful to receive the doctoral student award from the National Register of Health Service Psychologists. This award will provide integral funding and support for my dissertation project, which focuses on developing a novel, web-based intervention to target a major underlying cognitive risk and maintenance factor (i.e., anxiety sensitivity) for co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder and alcohol use disorder. Given the limited availability of brief, integrated interventions for individuals with this co-occurrence, the proposed study provides an innovative extension of previous work and has the potential to directly inform care and improve health services.
