Research projects in any phase of development are eligible for funding (e.g., materials design, data collection, manuscript writing). However, the proposed project must have a high probability of producing a product that will be presented and/or published in a peer-reviewed outlet in a timely manner. Proposals will be evaluated on the degree to which proposal fits STP’s description of the SoTL. Proposals that align with the STP President’ preferred themes, will be given top priority. The themes for grants awarded in November 2020 (to receive funding in 2021) are (a) Integration of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and International Initiatives Across STP; (b) Resources for "Pivot Teaching," and (c) Statistical Literacy, Reasoning, and Thinking: Guidelines 2.0. To read more about these initiatives and to apply for one of President-Elect Susan Nolan's 2021 task forces, click here.
The grant program is open to members of the Society for the Teaching Psychology who teach Psychology at 4-year colleges and universities, 2-year colleges, or high schools. Preference will be given to applicants who have not been awarded these funds in the previous 3 years.
