APS Student Grants

Description

To encourage student research in psychological science, the APS Student Grant Competition provides small seed grant funding to support research in its initial development stages. Awards will be given to APS student affiliates (graduates and undergraduates). Research proposals in all areas of psychological science are welcome. Peers will evaluate each research proposal on the clarity in the presentation of ideas, the ability of the project to explain some psychological phenomenon, and the ability of the project to advance research in a specified area. Applicants must be current APS student affiliates and may only enter one APSSC competition each year, and as such are only eligible for one of these three awards each academic year. Applicants must submit a Project Summary. The project summary should detail the purpose and methodology of the proposed research. The following specific sections should be included: Project Title and Abstract Background; Motivation; Methods; Theoretical Implications; and Explanation of funds. Please OMIT the author's name(s) and affiliation on all parts of this document. Instead, be sure to include the title of the submission in the header at the top of each page. Please visit the award's website for more information.
