Promoting Partnerships: STP Partnerships Small Grant Program

The Society for The Teaching of Psychology (Division 2 of APA) is pleased to announce a program of small grants to provide support for departments of psychology to develop partnerships with other teaching institutions in their region. The goal of the program is to promote communication and collaboration between psychology teachers from different institutions.  The grant program is open to members of the Society for the Teaching Psychology who teach Psychology at either 4-year colleges and universities, 2-year colleges, or high schools.

Grant funds can be used to defray the costs associated with meetings involving representatives from different institutions (e.g., travel, food), as well as for other collaborative projects.  We have total of $3000 to award.  Recipients will be asked to complete a final report on the outcome of the project. The funded project must occur during the 2009 calendar year.

Proposals should not be longer than 2 pages and should include the following sections: a) title of project, b) objective(s) and anticipated benefits of the project, c) description of project goals and activities to meet those goals, d) methods by which you will measure efficacy of the project, and e) a budget (please indicate whether you would be willing to go forward with the project with only partial funding).  

Deadline for proposals is November 3, 2008.  Please send proposals via email to Pamela Ansburg at ansburg@mscd.edu.
