SPP Student Research Award Competition

The Society of Pediatric Psychology, Division 54, announces its Annual Student Research Competition to encourage and reward quality research on issues related to pediatric psychology and health care of children.

*Trainees can only receive one research grant during each training phase (i.e., one during graduate school and one during postdoctoral fellowship/internship). Further, while only one grant will be awarded to an individual trainee, if your research applications fit more than one call, trainees are allowed to apply to more than grant.

**In light of COVID19, we are requesting that each grant applicant include a brief one paragraph addendum (on a separate page) with their submission. This paragraph should describe the feasibility of completing the proposed research in a one year period given current restrictions at your institution.

 

All applications should be submitted as a single pdf document (except for the COVID19 addendum which should be submitted separately) and emailed to:
