F.J. McGuigan Early Career Investigator Research Grant on Understanding the Human Mind
The F.J. McGuigan Early Career Investigator Research Grant is given biennially to recognize and support the efforts of an early career psychological scientist who is pursuing research that aims to address any aspect of mental function (e.g., cognition, affect, motivation) and seeks to understand the mind from both a behavioral and neural perspective. The grant advances a unified understanding of the human mind/brain through empirical and/or theoretical research and encourages promising young researchers to pursue careers in related fields. The program provides $15,000 in funding to support innovative research that contributes to understanding mental functions including cognition, affect, and motivation from both behavioral and neural perspectives. Applications are evaluated on conformance with stated program goals, quality of proposed research, innovation and contribution to the field, and demonstrated competence to execute the proposed work.
