The APA International Scientific Meeting Support Fund was created to foster the exchange of knowledge among psychologists across the world. APA’s Committee on International Relations (CIRP) selected the following organizations for support in 2009:

• 14th European Society Conference on Developmental Psychology in Lithuania

• 4th Africa Region Conference of the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology in Cameroon

• 1st International Meeting of the Italian-American Psychology Assembly in Sicily

• 32nd Interamerican Congress of Psychology in Guatemala

• 5th Congress of the Latin American Society of Health Psychology in Venezuela

• Centenary Meeting of the International Society for Psychophysics

Funds are used to support scientific meeting organizing expenses (e.g., printing, postage, supplies); scholarships for travel and/or registration for targeted groups (e.g., students, special speakers, presenters from a transitional or a developing country); support for special events associated with a scientific meeting (e.g., historical exhibits); and social or cultural events associated with a meeting. The next deadline will be in March 2010.Ψ
