Request for Research-Based Programs on Violence Prevention and Intervention
The American Psychological Foundation (APF) requests proposals
for research-based programs on violence prevention and intervention.
The APF Trustees hope to
- Encourage the transfer of psychological science with regard
to violence, its prevention, and intervention strategies to programmatic
applications within the community.
- Support the implementation of innovative community programs
aimed at preventing violence within any number of social settings
(e.g., young adult populations, elder abuse, domestic abuse, hate
crimes, sexual assault, and others).
- Provide seed money to establish promising interventions proposed
by community-based organizations or provide funding for established
community programs that have been deemed successful.
Principal Investigator/Applicants must be psychologists holding
doctoral degrees (PhD, EdD, MD, JD) engaged in research-based program
implementation related to violence prevention. Special consideration
will be given to programs with a strong foundation in violence prevention
and intervention research and those that have, or show promise for,
broad-based community support. Applicants may request up
to $20,000. The recipient must submit a final report no
later than 18 months after the completion of funding.
The deadline for application submission is August 12, 2004.
Eligibility criteria and submission requirements are detailed in
full at the APF website: http://www.apa.org/apf.
Submissions must be in electronic format. Awards will be announced
on or after December 1.
Questions should be directed to American Psychological Foundation.
