Both grants support scientific research that increases the general public’s understanding of homosexuality and aims to alleviate the stress that gay men and lesbians experience in this and future civilizations. Individuals from all fields of the behavioral and social sciences are encouraged to apply, especially if their research addresses the following topics: prejudice, discrimination, or violence based on sexual orientation; family and workplace issues relevant to lesbians and gay men; and subgroups of the lesbian and gay population that have historically been underrepresented in scientific research, especially racial and ethnic minorities. Applicants must have a doctoral-level degree (e.g., PhD, PsyD, MD) and must be affiliated with a college, university, or research institution that meets federal requirements for administering research grants. Funds are not available for dissertation research or other pre-doctoral studies.
Large grant applications should propose new studies that can be completed within two years. Up to $50,000 may be requested for any expenses legitimately associated with conducting an empirical research project. Special preference for one of the two available grants will be given to applicants who have completed their doctorate within the previous seven years. The deadline for large grant applications is March 9, 2007.
Small grant applicants may request up to $5,000. Applications should propose a new study that can be completed within one year. Funds are not normally provided for stipends of principal investigators, travel to conventions, or manuscript preparation. The deadline for small grant applications is January 31, 2007.
Applications for both grants must conform to the APF Placek grant guidelines, which can be found at www.hookerprograms.org.
