About the American Psychological Foundation (APF)
APF provides financial support for innovative research and programs that enhance the power of psychology to elevate the human condition and advance human potential both now and in generations to come.
Since 1953, APF has supported a broad range of scholarships and grants for students and early career psychologists as well as research and program grants that use psychology to improve people’s lives.
APF encourages applications from individuals who represent diversity in race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, and sexual orientation.
About the F.I.S.H. Foundation
The F.I.S.H. Foundation (Funding Individual Spiritual Health) aims to reach people and groups whose particular needs may not otherwise be met. The F.I.S.H. Foundation provides grants to support medical needs, educational programs, and projects such as fighting childhood obesity and promoting literacy to underprivileged populations.
About the APF/F.I.S.H. Foundation Grant
The APF/F.I.S.H. Foundation, Inc. Visionary Grant to Decrease Ethnic and Racial Discrimination in Education supports innovative research, education, and intervention efforts that aim to reduce disparities in education and achievement as a result of discrimination, and help minority students achieve their maximum potential.
Preference will be given to early career psychologists (ten years or less postdoctoral), and pilot projects that, if successful, would be strong candidates for support from major federal and foundation funding agencies, and “demonstration projects” that promise to generalize broadly to similar settings in other geographical areas and/or to other settings.
