SoAP Student Research Grant Announcement

The Society of Addiction Psychology (SoAP; Division 50 of the American Psychological Association) offers the Student Research Grant Program to support graduate student research in the field of addiction psychology. Four Student Research Grants of up to $1000.00 each will be awarded each year.

One proposal will be selected by the sitting President-Elect of SoAP based on how closely the project fits/integrates with that year’s presidential theme (President’s Selection). This year’s presidential theme is:

The Science of Lived Experience: Reimagining Research Through Lived and Learned Expertise

A second award will be selected for a project which focuses on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in addiction science and/or focuses on addiction-related health disparities/inequities. Submissions for this award will be reviewed by the SoAP Grant Review Committee, chaired by Dr. Ty Schepis, and a top-scored application in this category will be funded. The two other awardees will also be selected by the SoAP Grant Review Committee. The committee will review the remaining applications and choose two of the top-scored grants.

These annual grants will be awarded to students whose research reflects excellence in addiction psychology and will be evaluated on the criteria detailed in the attached brochure. The grant recipients will be required to attend and present findings from the funded research at either the annual American Psychological Association or the Collaborative Perspectives on Addiction Conference. As part of the award, recipients will have their conference registration fee provided and will receive up to $500.00 in travel funds. This travel allocation is in addition to the allotted $1000.00 and does not need to be deducted from the project’s budget.

DEADLINE: All application materials must be submitted no later than 11:59PM EST May 1
