Description

BEA will award a total of up to $5,000 in conference grants—shared across several proposals. The typical funding granted per conference/workshop is between $1,000-1,500.

The BEA Conferences and Workshops Grant is available in support of organizations or groups of psychologists planning conferences or workshops intended to enhance the quality of education for faculty and/or supervisors who then will use the knowledge to train students, interns, and/or postdoctoral fellows.

Eligibility

Preference will be given to groups or organizations that have not been awarded a conference and workshop grant in the past two years.

Proposals will be evaluated using the following criteria (limit of 1500 characters for each):

Goals and objectives

The clarity and nature of the conference or workshop goals and objectives and how they will enhance the training of faculty and supervisors of graduate students, interns and/or postdoctoral fellows in psychology.

Leadership

The qualifications of the person(s) identified to plan and lead the conference or workshop, relative to the topic of focus. Included in the qualifications should be evidence of national or regional leadership (e.g., publication of scholarly works related to education and training, participation in past workshops, etc.)

Participants

The qualifications of conference or workshop participants relative to the topic of focus, including their potential for implementing outcomes of the conference or workshop toward enhancing graduate education.

Impact

The estimated or potential impact of the conference or workshop in terms of the diffusion of new ideas resulting from its outcomes in the education community appropriate to the proposal's focus.

Budget

The clarity and completeness of the conference or workshop budget, how realistic it is, how the grant funds are to be used to offset expenses incurred (e.g., travel, registration, speaker fees), as well as provide strong justification for the requested amount and whether the conference or workshop can be offered without BEA funding.
