Grant Description

Grants of up to $20,000 to USA, Canada, and International graduate students and early-career researchers affiliated with qualifying nonprofits, government agencies, or institutions for innovative projects in psychology. Funding is intended to support education, intervention, and research projects that use psychology to address social problems in the following priority areas:

Applying psychology to at-risk, vulnerable populations (e.g. serious mental illness, returning military, those who are incarcerated or economically disadvantaged)
Preventing violence
Understanding the connection between behavior and health (e.g. wellness, diabetes, obesity)
Understanding and eliminating stigma and prejudice (e.g. race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability and socioeconomic status)

Preference will be given to pilot projects that, if successful, would be strong candidates for support from major federal and foundation funding agencies, and “demonstration projects” that promise to generalize broadly to similar settings in other geographical areas and/or to other settings.
