IAPSP Research and Project Grants Guidelines and Application

IAPSP has established a program to support ongoing or start-up research and clinical/applied project activities of IAPSP members. IAPSP will announce periodically, as funds permit (no more than once a year), to its members that applications for financial support of these projects will be received.

While criteria for assessment of applications will vary, depending on the nature of the research or clinical/applied project, they will include: import and relevance to self psychology, originality, scientific merit, feasibility, evidence of expertise of the applicant and experience needed to complete the project. IAPSP will decide which research and clinical projects to support as well as the amounts of the grants.

The grantee must maintain their membership in IAPSP during the period that the grantee receives the grant. The grantee is responsible for the following:

1. To use IAPSP funds for the sole purpose of initiating and completing the approved project.
2. To request and itemize on an as-needed-basis specific amounts of the grant.
3. To provide written reports updating the project and the specific use of funds on a six month basis.
4. To provide a final report upon the completion of the project.

Requests and reports are to be emailed to James L. Fosshage, Ph.D., Chair of the IAPSP Research Committee (fosshage@psychoanalysis.net), and to Nilou Mostofi, IAPSP's administrator (mnilou@km-direct.com). With the Chair's approval, IAPSP's administrator will distribute the specific funds to the grantee.

It is the responsibility of IAPSP to distribute and oversee the use of these grants. If any monies are used for purposes other than the designated research or clinical program awarded the grant, IAPSP retains the right to request the return of said monies and to withhold further distributions of the grant. By accepting the grant, the grantee agrees to comply with these financial and reporting procedures.

IAPSP Members' Ongoing Research Projects

IAPSP has established the "Committee for Research and Project Grants." In addition to providing support for IAPSP members' start-up or ongoing research and/or clinical/applied projects, the Committee keeps our community informed of members' activities (whether IAPSP supported or not) on the IAPSP website.
