Public engagement grants
The Society runs an annual public engagement grant scheme.
Through these grants we aim to help members promote the relevance of evidence-based psychology to wider audiences either through direct work or by organising interesting and relevant communications activities.Past recipients have received grants to work on projects such websites and workshops.
The closing date for complete application forms is Monday 2 July 2012.
Due to the continuing success of the scheme, the funding available for 2012 has been increased to £60,000. This funding may be awarded for one large project or may be shared amongst several smaller ones.
While all applications will be considered, we particularly welcome applications with the following themes:
- Social neuroscience
- Supporting people with depression
- Psychological wellbeing at work
- Applying psychology to real world problems
Applications are open to all members of the Society. Successful grant-related projects can be included in your CPD profile. We aim to showcase content from our Public Engagement Grants on the Society's website.
Request an application and further information.
Applicants will be notified of outcomes by 3 September 2012.
