SPP Routh Student Research Grant
The Society of Pediatric Psychology has established an annual research scholar
grant program for student members of the Society. Eligibility is restricted
to current student members of SPP. The research project for which funding is requested
must be conducted under the supervision of a faculty advisor and may include
work leading to a masters or doctoral degree or may be an independent study.
Research proposals should address areas consistent with the field of pediatric
psychology. Topic examples might include relationships between psychological
and physical well-being of children and adolescents, including behavioral
and emotional components of disease and treatment, the role of pediatric
psychology in pediatric medicine settings, or the promotion of health and
the prevention of illness among children and youth.
Funding is available up to $500. Funds are not provided for convention and
meeting travel, indirect costs of the University, stipends of principal
investigators, or costs associated with manuscript preparation. The award
will begin July 1, 1999. A progress report is due by January 1 of the following
year. A final report of no more than 20 pages in manuscript format is to
be submitted at the completion of the project.
Interested applicants should submit three (3) copies of each of the
following:
- An abstract of 100 words or less, summarizing the proposed research.
- A maximum 7-page, single-spaced proposal that describes the project
objectives, theoretical rationale (including relevant literature review),
hypotheses, design, method and procedures, and data analystic plan. The
project's relevance to pediatric psychology should be specifically addressed.
- A detailed budget that includes specific item amounts and budget justification
for each item. If the project will require more than the $500 requested,
please include an explanation of the expected sources of the remaining funds
necessary to complete the project.
- A statement regarding the qualifications of the student investigator
and a copy of the student's vita.
- The faculty supervisor must write a letter of recommendation to accompany
