Reaching peak performance
Research Prize
Designed to stimulate innovative, interdisciplinary research that meaningfully advances our understanding of humans, change, and growth, a grant will be awarded to a research team that asks a bold question and outlines a novel way to uncover deeper insights into what it means to make flourishing a reality. This prize will be focused on advancing the science of psychological well-being at work, the impact outside of the workplace, and drivers of behaviour change that transform individuals and their organisations.
