The Springfield Research Fund Grants

The Springfield Research Fund Grant supports research of contemporary LGBTQIA+ issues in an effort to dispel stereotypes and other negative information that leads to prejudice and discrimination. The 2026 area of preference will be given to research that addresses intersectional stigmas. The program provides three grants of up to $21,000 each for early career psychologists who are no more than 10 years postdoctoral. Applicants can request up to $21,000 only if $1,000 is reserved for publication costs. Applications are evaluated based on impact and innovation, viability and methodology, and plan for dissemination. APF encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds with respect to age, race, color, religion, creed, nationality, ability, sexual orientation, gender, and geography.
