Abstract

The grant encourages early career clinicians to work in an area of critical societal need. Pearson partnered with APF to ensure psychology addresses critical needs in society.

APF supports original, innovative research and projects. Although APF favors unique, independent work, the Foundation does fund derivative projects that are part of larger studies.

The goals of the grant are to support psychology's efforts to improve areas of critical need in society, including but not limited to innovative scientifically based clinical work with serious mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, incarcerated or homeless individuals, children with serious emotional disturbance (SED), and adults with serious mental illness (SMI); and to encourage early career psychologists to devote their careers to under-served populations.

Eligibility

The applicant must be a psychologist with an EdD, PsyD, or PhD from an accredited university, and be no more than 10 years postdoctoral. APF encourages applications from individuals who represent diversity in race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, and sexual orientation.
