Grants and Travel Funds

SPR Research Fellowship Training Award

Due September 1, 2008, for funding to begin October 5, 2008

The Committee to Promote Student Interests and the Education and Training Committee are pleased to announce that SPR will provide up to three Research Fellowship Training Awards. The award will allow students, postdocs, or faculty to obtain mentorship/training in psychophysiological assessment/analysis with experts in the field, which they could not get at their home institution. This could involve travel to a remote site or travel expenses for a remote mentor to visit the applicant's lab, as well as the purchase of some necessary equipment. Students at any level of training and faculty from primarily undergraduate institutions are especially encouraged to apply, as the award is designed to enhance student training in psychophysiology. Applications must be received via email by Sept 1, 2008. Applications are short (3-5 pages), have a budget of up to $5000, and funds will be available approximately 1 month following the application due date. Recipients will be announced at the Saturday Business Luncheon at the annual meeting in Austin, TX.

The application packet can be downloaded directly from this link.
