The American Psychological Foundation is inviting applications for its Drs. Rosalee G. and Raymond A. Weiss Research and Program Innovation Grants program.

Grants of up to $3,000 will be awarded in support of innovative research, education, and intervention projects and programs that use psychology to solve social problems in the following priority areas: applying psychology to at-risk, vulnerable populations (e.g., serious mental illness, returning military, those who are incarcerated or economically disadvantaged); preventing violence; understanding the connection between behavior and health (e.g., wellness, diabetes, obesity); and understanding and eliminating stigma and prejudice (e.g., race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, and socioeconomic status).

Applicants must be a graduate student or early-career researcher (no more than ten years postdoctoral), and be affiliated with a nonprofit charitable, educational or scientific institution or governmental entity operating exclusively for charitable purposes.
