The Awards for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology in the Public Interest recognize persons who have advanced psychology as a science and/or profession by a single extraordinary achievement or a lifetime of outstanding contributions in the public interest. Two awards are given: one to a senior psychologist and a second to a psychologist who has made a significant contribution to the public interest in the early stages of his or her career. The 2021 recipients of the APA Awards for Distinguished Contributions in the Public Interest were selected by the 2020 Committee on Psychology in the Public Interest Awards. Kimberly G. Noble is a cognitive neuroscientist, developmental psychologist, and pediatrician based at Teachers College, Columbia University. With her formidable interdisciplinary skill set she has established a new approach to the problem of child poverty. Her work illuminates the neural mechanisms by which the socioeconomic environment shapes our abilities and vulnerabilities, using the ideas and methods of neuroscience to expand on insights that come from economic, social, and psychological studies. By building a more comprehensive and integrated understanding of child poverty, Dr. Noble has ushered in a new field of study that advances the science of child development and its implications for child policy.
