Applied Social Issues Internship Award

The Applied Social Issues Internship Award is designed to encourage research that is conducted in cooperation with a community or government organization, public interest group, or other not-for-profit entity that will benefit directly from the project. The award supports undergraduate seniors (including rising seniors), graduate students, and first-year postdoctoral researchers in psychology, applied social science, and related disciplines. Awards range from $300 to $2,500 to cover research costs, community organizing, and in unusual cases, a stipend for the intern. Cost sharing by sponsoring department or organization is desirable. Applicants must be SPSSI members and must secure both a faculty sponsor/supervisor and an organizational sponsor to support the research activities.
