About this opportunity

The F.J. McGuigan Dissertation Award supports dissertation research that addresses any aspect of mental function including cognition, affect, and motivation. The program seeks to understand the mind from both a behavioral and neural perspective. Proposed research should be compatible with McGuigan's overall goals and may fall within any area of contemporary behavioral or brain science, including more recent forms of cognitive psychology. The award is specifically intended for doctoral candidates who have completed doctoral candidacy and have obtained dissertation approval from their doctoral committee. Dualistic approaches characteristic of much contemporary cognitive research are specifically ineligible. This award provides financial support to advance innovative dissertation research that contributes to understanding mental function through integrated behavioral and neural approaches.
