Applications will be accepted between August 15th and September 30th, 2007.
For consideration, the Applicant must fulfill the following criteria:
Awards up to $1500 are typically made.
This grant is designed to support research that is primarily
concerned with dissociation or closely related topics. Graduate
students and undergraduate honors students are eligible to
apply for grants up to $1500. Please note that grants
for projects less than $1500 are also encouraged.
(1) The Applicant must be a graduate student (in a Masters, PsyD, or PhD program) in psychology, psychiatry, social work or related fields or an undergraduate psychology honors student.
(2) The proposed research must be primarily concerned with dissociation or closely related topics.
(3) The Applicant must submit a completed research proposal.
The application will consist of: (a) a completed applicant
information cover sheet; (b) a completed research
overview page; (c) a 1500 word maximum summary of
the proposed research presenting rationale, aims and hypotheses,
research design, and procedures; (d) a proposed budget for
the grant indicating the amount requested and how funds would
be spent; (e) a brief description, attached to the budget,
of why the grant will be essential to performance of the project;
(f) CVs from both the applicant and his or her Faculty Supervisor;
(g) a letter of support from the primary faculty member overseeing
the research that addresses the applicant's ability to carry
out the proposed research; and (h) (where applicable) letters
of support from recruitment sites.
(4) The research proposal must be approved by the Applicant's graduate faculty supervisor as submitted. If an award is made and the project is substantially changed, the Committee must be notified of that fact as soon as possible. If the revised protocol appears to change resource needs, then the Committee may perform an ad hoc review of the revised project to assure that the award remains justified.
(5) Before grant funds can be distributed, the Applicant must provide certification that the research proposal has been granted approval by the Institutional Review Board or other Ethics oversight committee of his or her educational institution. If research is to be conducted outside the educational institution, then certifications must be provided to the committee for each site.
Awards announcement letters will be sent out in late October
or early November and announced at the 2007 ISSTD Conference
in Philadelphia , PA.
