Student Grant Award
The Student Research Grant Program supports graduate student research in the field of addiction psychology. Four Student Research Grants of up to $1000.00 each will be awarded each year. DEADLINE: All application materials must be submitted no later than 11:59PM EST May 1st each year.
No part of the Student Research Grant can be used for indirect costs or institutional overhead. Indirect costs include, but are not limited to, administrative costs of the university and the usual criteria established for grant overhead or other costs, such as laboratory space. Grant money must be devoted to the active research project. The grantee determines how they would like to spend the money, based on their research project, which has been approved by Division 50 of the American Psychological Association. Institutions may not automatically deduct any fees from this allowance without the grantee's approval. If you have any questions on how the money may be spent, please contact the student representatives at div50research@gmail.com.
Early Career Psychologist (ECP) Grant Program
The Society of Addiction Psychology offers the Early Career Psychologist (ECP) Research Grant program to support ECP research in the field of addiction psychology. For 2024, SoAP will award up to two ECP Research Grants of up to $5000.00 each. At least one of these will be diversity-focused and aim to advance equity and social justice, serve marginalized communities, and/or support trainees of historically underrepresented backgrounds. Aligning with NIH-defined disadvantaged backgrounds (https://extramural-diversity.nih.gov/diversity-matters/disadvantaged-backgrounds), diversity dimensions include (but are not limited to) race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, differently abled, were or currently are homeless, were or currently are in the foster care system, were eligible for federal free or reduced lunch program, have/had no parents or legal guardians who completed a bachelor’s degree (first-generation college students), were or currently are eligible for Federal Pell grants, received support from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) as a parent or child, or grew up in a U.S. rural area or a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services-designated Low-Income and Health Professional Shortage Areas.
These annual awards will be presented to ECPs whose research reflects excellence in addiction psychology and will be evaluated on the criteria detailed below. The award winners will be required to attend and present the study’s findings at the annual Collaborative Perspectives on Addiction meeting after the study’s conclusion. As part of the award, recipients’ meeting registration fee will be waived and they will receive up to $500.00 in travel funds. This travel allocation is in addition to the allotted $5000.00 and does not need to be deducted from the project’s budget.
