Division 17 Counseling Psychology Grants

These grants support not-for-profit activities to enhance the science and practice of counseling psychology. In particular, they aim to support research on the implementation of innovative counseling programs and models. Division 17 funds two to three proposals in the range of $1,000-3,000 each. The program is sponsored by the American Psychological Foundation in partnership with APA Division 17 (Society of Counseling Psychology). Applications are evaluated on conformance with stated program goals, magnitude of incremental contribution in specified activity area, quality of proposed work, applicant's demonstrated competence and capability to execute the proposed work, and criticality of funding for execution of work. The program particularly encourages applications from early career psychologists (no more than 10 years postdoctoral) and from diverse backgrounds with respect to age, race, color, religion, creed, nationality, ability, sexual orientation, gender, and geography.
