NEPA FAQs

Q: Can I bring a supporting guest to NECTOP and/or NEPA?

A: We welcome presenters and attendees to bring a guest to come to NEPA to support each other for presentations and to learn about psychological science. To help offset administrative and conference expenses associated with extra guests, guests will be asked to make a $5-10 donation to NEPA.

Q: I can no longer come to NECTOP and/or NEPA, can I get a refund?

A: The fee you pay for NEPA includes your membership as well as your conference registration. Therefore, the registration fee is non-refundable at this time. If there is some extenuating circumstance, you can reach out to the Association Coordinator (NEPsychological@gmail.com) or the Treasurer (nepsychtreasurer@gmail.com).

Annual Award Presentations

Distinguished Contribution Award

The New England Psychological Association’s (NEPA) Distinguished Contribution Award (DCA) for 2026 will be presented to a psychologist with a current or prior association with New England who has demonstrated exceptional contributions to the field. The award recognizes individuals who have advanced the science of psychology, applied psychological knowledge to meaningfully improve individual and community well-being through service, or conducted sustained programmatic research or professional work that is making significant strides in expanding psychological knowledge. The DCA also honors psychologists who have shown an extraordinary commitment to teaching and mentoring, reflecting innovation, leadership, and dedication well beyond the expectations of standard professional practice.

Honorary Undergraduate Scholar Award

Honorary Undergraduate Scholar (HUS) awards will be presented at NEPA’s Annual Meeting, which is being held on November 7, 2026, to recognize individuals with outstanding undergraduate records in psychology and to encourage promising students to pursue careers in the discipline. Students pursuing associate and baccalaureate degrees are eligible for HUS awards, and the Experiential Activity criterion recognizes potential differences in curricula and opportunities across institutions.
