The Decade of Behavior Award

Sharyn O’Halloran

A chaired professor of political economics at Columbia University in New York City, Sharyn O’Halloran holds a bachelor of arts in economics and political science and both a master of arts and a doctorate in political science from the University of California, San Diego. In 2005, the American Political Science Association named Sharyn O’Halloran recipient of the Decade of Behavior Annual Research Award.

A partnership between approximately 70 behavioral and social sciences organizations, the Decade of Behavior celebrated its official launch at the Cannon House Office Building amid hundreds of Capitol Hill professionals on March 25, 2000. This multidisciplinary initiative concentrated on promoting the ability of the behavioral and social sciences to meet pressing societal challenges.

Beginning in 2000 and ending in 2010, the Decade of Behavior featured a different theme each year. The Decade of Behavior Research Award honored the accomplishments of up to five professionals who made significant contributions within these annual themes. Any of the roughly 70 organizations that supported and endorsed the Decade of Behavior were able to nominate potential awardees.
