             THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION’S
        SECTION ON TRANSPORTATION POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION (STPA)

                        INVITES SUBMISSIONS FOR ITS
                              SEVENTH ANNUAL
                         STUDENT PAPER COMPETITION

STPA invites undergraduate and graduate students who have written research
papers related to transportation policy and administration during calendar
year 2006 to submit their papers for consideration.  Papers should be
prepared according to a standard style such as APA. They should be between
15 and 25 pages in length and include citations and references.  The review
committee encourages students to submit copies of previously prepared
research papers, conference papers, and journal article manuscripts.
Literature reviews and review essays are not eligible for consideration.
Papers co-authored with faculty members are not eligible.  The committee
will evaluate papers in a blind review process (students are asked to limit
self-references to a title page that can be removed prior to review by the
committee).  Reviewers will rate papers on the relevance of the research to
transportation policy and administration, the appropriateness of the chosen
methodology, the clarity of the writing, and the overall quality of the
paper.

The best paper will receive a $100 prize and a certificate of recognition
from the Section on Transportation Policy and Administration.  The best
paper will also be recognized in the section’s newsletter and on its
website.  The best paper award will be presented at the ASPA national
meeting in Washington, DC during the first week of April, 2006.

          The deadline for receiving papers is January 15, 2007.

Papers should be submitted as an e-mail attachment.  Please use MSWord
(.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf).
