The Esther Katz Rosen Fund derives from a bequest to support “…activities related to the advancement and application of knowledge about gifted children.”
Program Goals
The Esther Katz Rosen Fund
- Enables and enhances development of identified gifted and talented children and adolescents
- Encourages promising psychologists to continue innovative research and programs in this area
Support will be provided for activities on the advancement and application of knowledge related to identified gifted and talented children and adolescents such as:
- Research
- Pilot projects
- Research-based programs
Amount
Grants from $1,000 to $50,000 are available
For grants and scholarships that are $10,000 or more, APF will make the award to your institution. APF does not allow institutional indirect costs or overhead costs. Applicants may use grant monies for direct administrative costs of their proposed project.
Eligibility Requirements
Applicants must:
- Hold a doctoral degree from or be a graduate student at an accredited university for research proposals*
- Be affiliated with a school or education institution
*Graduate students and early career psychologists (ten years or less postdoctoral) are encouraged to apply. APF also supports 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 other geographical areas and/or to other settings.
