Call for Proposals for
Hyde Graduate Student Research Grants

Proposals are being sought for Hyde Graduate Student Research Grants. These grants, each up to $500, are awarded to doctoral psychology students to support feminist research. The grants are made possible through the generosity of Janet Shibley Hyde, PhD, who donates the royalties from her book, "Half the Human Experience," to this fund. Past recipients of Hyde Graduate Student Research Grants are not eligible to apply. Because the purpose of this award is to facilitate research that otherwise might not be possible, projects that are beyond the data analysis stage are not eligible.

Requirements

1. 1. Cover-sheet with project title, investigator's name, address, phone, fax, and e-mail address.
2. A 100-word abstract.
3. A proposal (5-pages maximum, double-spaced) addressing the project's purpose, theoretical rationale, and procedures, including how the method and data analysis stem from the proposed theory and purpose.
4. A one-page statement articulating the study's relevance to feminist goals and importance to feminist research.
5. The expected timeline for progress and completion of the project (including the date of the research proposal committee meeting). The project timeline should not exceed two years.
6. A faculty sponsor's recommendation, including why the research cannot be funded by other sources. This letter (5 copies) should be included with the proposal materials. Please do not send it separately.
7. Status of human research review process, including expected date of human research committee submission and approval. Preference will be given to proposals that have received human research approval.
8. An itemized budget (if additional funds are needed to ensure completion of the project, please specify sources).
9. The applicant's curriculum vitae.
10. Two self-addressed, stamped envelopes.
11. All sections of the proposal should be typed and prepared according to APA style (e.g., please use 12-point font).
12. Proposals that fail to meet the guidelines set forth above will not be reviewed.

Review Process

A panel of psychologists will evaluate the proposals for theoretical and methodological soundness, relevance to feminist goals, applicant's training and qualifications to conduct the research, and feasibility of completing the project.

Other Requirements

Within 24 months of receipt of the grant, recipients are expected to submit to the Hyde committee chair a complete and final copy of the research document (e.g., a copy of the thesis, dissertation or journal manuscript based on the sponsored research), along with an 500-word abstract for publication in Division 35 newsletter. In addition, grant recipients shall acknowledge the funding source in the author's notes in all publications.

Hyde award winners will be announced at the APA convention during Division 35 Social Hour. The names of the Hyde award winners may also be posted in Division 35 newsletter as well as on Division 35 web page and listserv.
