Grants Available for Scientific Conferences – Proposals InvitedThe Science Directorate of the American Psychological Association (APA) is seeking proposals for research conferences in psychology. The purpose of this program is to promote the exchange of important new contributions and approaches in scientific psychology. The annual deadlines are June 1 and December 1 for conferences to be held in the following year. Grant money, ranging from $500 to $20,000 is available. The conference must also be supported by the host institution with direct funds, in-kind support, or a combination of the two. The Conference Format list below describes the formats that will be accepted for review and the amounts of funding available for each. Please note that APA is open to innovative ways to hold conferences. Applicants who have experimental methods for sharing knowledge are urged to contact the Science Directorate to discuss the possibility of obtaining funding through this program (e.g., scientific conference held through electronic mail). In addition, as important topics arise in the field of psychology, the Science Directorate will confer with its Conference Review Committee to determine if a conference and/or scientific volume are warranted. Conferences should take place within approximately 12 months after the funding decision is made. Publication Information ** Please read all publication information carefully, as publication procedures have changed.** Conference proceedings and presentation materials (including electronic presentations) must be submitted to APA three months after the date the conference is held. APA will hold the conference proceedings for three years. If a book has not been published by APA or another publisher within the three-year holding period, APA will place the conference proceedings in PsycEXTRA. PsycEXTRA is a companion database to the scholarly PsycINFO, which is designed to link academics, clinicians, librarians, consumers, policy-makers, and researchers to a variety of information sources covering psychology, behavioral science, and health; PsycEXTRA provides the readership with original documents, including proceedings, newsletters, magazines, newspapers, technical and annual reports, government reports, and consumer brochures.
