History & Purpose of the Award
Florence L. Geis was a Social Psychologist with a strong commitment
to research on the Psychology of Women and to the mentoring
of women graduate students. In her will, she left an endowment to
fund doctoral students conducting dissertation research
in feminist psychology. To qualify for funding, the research must be
1) feminist,
2) address a feminist/womanist issue, 3) use social psychology
research methods, and 4) make a significant contribution
to social psychology theory and research. Proposals will be judged on
suitability,
feasibility, merit of the research, and the potential of
the student to have a career as a feminist researcher in social psychology.
Funding need not be used solely to fund the research project.

doctoral graduate students in psychology or a closely related
field whose dissertation research focuses on the psychology
of women. The research must demonstrate:
- Grounding in contextual
social psychological models
