The American Psychological Foundation has announced applications for the Practice Based Evidence Fund Grant to support psychologists and trainees who are primarily affiliated with community mental health settings, private practice settings, or other local outpatient settings.
One annual grant is available to support efforts to document, evaluate, or implement practices in those settings. This grant is meant to provide the initial resources to support novel research in these settings.
Funding Information
- For grants and scholarships that are $10,000 or more, APF will disburse the funds to the grantee’s institution. APF does not allow institutional indirect costs or overhead costs. Funded researchers may use grant monies for direct administrative costs of their proposed project.
- To receive APF funds, recipients must be affiliated with a nonprofit charitable, educational or scientific institution, or governmental entity operating exclusively for charitable and educational purposes.
Eligibility Criteria
- APF encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds with respect to age, race, color, religion, creed, nationality, ability, sexual orientation, gender, and geography.
- Applicants must be doctoral level psychologists of any career stage. The desired recipient will have primarily worked in clinical settings.
- Applicants may submit one of two types of project proposals:
- Projects to evaluate clinical practice. Successful proposals will describe the identified innovation and a proposal for how to evaluate the effectiveness of that innovation.

Evaluation Criteria
- Applicants will be evaluated on:
- quality of the proposed innovation or process to be evaluated and implemented.
