Division 56 CHANGE Grant

The Division 56 Cultivating Healing, Advocacy, Nonviolence, Growth, and Equity (CHANGE) Grant supports graduate student or early-career psychologist-led collaborative projects aimed at identifying and dismantling all forms of systemic racism, discrimination, and violence. Examples of supported projects include improving transdisciplinary and intervention research methods addressing trauma disparities, understanding the historical and ongoing sociopolitical and systemic causes of racial trauma and health disparities, identifying ways in which persons of color and their communities thrive, developing trauma-informed and culturally tailored sustainable programs that promote well-being, providing access to trauma psychology information and services to underserved individuals and communities, and restorative justice practices. The grant is offered by the American Psychological Foundation in collaboration with Division 56 of the American Psychological Association. APF encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds with respect to age, race, color, religion, creed, nationality, ability, sexual orientation, gender, and geography.
