SSSP invites proposals for the funding of projects by early-career applicants that are consistent with the SSSP’s purposes of advancing scholarship in and about school psychology and promoting the application of research to the practice of school psychology.
A wide array of projects consistent with SSSP purposes can be funded under this grant program. In a typical year, it is anticipated that up to $80,000 will be available to fund 4 projects (with a maximum of $20,000 per award). Funded projects generally will be of one year’s duration; however, projects with longer timelines will be considered. Annual appropriations for multiple- year awards are dependent on the annual availability of funds to SSSP and satisfactory progress in the project toward accomplishing goals. Jointly funded projects involving cooperation with other organizations also will be considered.
The key features on which proposed projects are evaluated include their consistency with SSSP purposes, scientific merit, cost effectiveness, potential impact on school psychology scholarship, and potential impact on improving school psychology practice.
The proposal deadline for these awards is April 20, 2018. Those interested may learn more—and find application instructions—at the full call, here.
