ExpiWell is thrilled to announce the Dissertation Award for the fifth consecutive year. This award supports and recognizes outstanding doctoral students who employ the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) or Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) in their research endeavors.
This year, we offer up to two awards, each valued at $1,000, to doctoral candidates pushing the boundaries of their respective fields through ESM or EMA methodologies. In addition to the financial incentive, ExpiWell takes pride in amplifying the work of our awardees.
