The program’s goals are to support psychology’s efforts to improve areas of critical need in society, including but not limited to innovative scientifically based clinical work with serious mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, incarcerated or homeless individuals, children with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and adults with serious mental illness (SIM); and to encourage early career psychologists to devote their careers to under-served populations.

One $12,000 annual grant is available, plus an additional $1,500 for travel costs for the recipient to attend the following year’s American Psychological Association (APA) Convention.
