The American Psychological Foundation (APF) is seeking proposals for the Walter Katkovsky Research Grants to support research on the general topic of psychotherapy.
Donor Name: American Psychological Foundation
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 04/01/2022
Grant Size: $20,000
Details:
Research proposals should be directed to questions and hypotheses designed to improve their understanding based on theory or methods of how psychotherapy promotes behavioral, emotional, or cognitive changes. While the ultimate goal of the research should be to inform the psychotherapy process, its specific focus may be limited to an underlying assumption, hypothesis, or questions; and the actual design may be “clinical” or “experimental” in terms of subjects and procedures. That is, the research design may be a simulation of some aspect of the psychotherapy process (e.g., learning or exposure trials) and subjects may or may not be classified as “patients”.
The proposal must describe in detail the experimental methodology (i.e., hypotheses, subject selection, and measures of independent and dependent variables, including a description of the psychotherapy that must deal with life problems and emotional/behavioral reactions) and result in the collection of new data.
Funding Information
APF plans to award three grants of up to $20,000 and three grants of up to $10,000.

Applicants must:
- Psychologists with up to 12 years of postdoctoral experience.
