Deadline: 18 September 2024
The American Psychological Foundation invites applications for the Bruce and Jane Walsh Grant in Memory of John Holland to support scientific, scholarly, or applied research and/or educational activities investigating how personality, culture, and environment influence work behavior and health (mental and physical).
Preference will be given to early career psychologists no more than 10 years postdoctoral, and pilot projects that, if successful, would be strong candidates for support from major federal and foundation funding agencies, and “demonstration projects” that promise to generalize broadly to similar settings in other geographical areas and/or to other settings.
John Holland was a renowned vocational and personality psychologist, and a pioneer in the field of vocational psychology. Holland’s Theory of Vocational Choice inspired the creation of the Holland Codes (otherwise known as Holland Occupational Themes, or RIASEC), which refer to the idea that careers and vocational choice can be based upon personality types.
