HISTORY
In 2007, a bequest by Joseph B. Gittler was made to the association establishing an award given to a SSSP member for significant scholarly achievements on the ethical resolution of social problems. The stipend for this award is $500. Past winners of this award can be found here.
CRITERIA
- The nominee must have been an active member of the Society for the Study of Social Problems for at least three years prior to receiving the award.

Scholarship may be undertaken from a wide variety of perspectives, including both applied research (qualitative or quantitative research) and normative work (e.g., argumentative, historical, philosophical, textual or theoretical analyses).
