Deadline: 14-Jan-2026
The Society for the Advancement of Behavior Analysis is accepting applications for its International Development Grant Program for individuals and organizations for the development and/or dissemination of behavior analysis internationally.
Support persons or organizations interested in developing behavior analysis internationally. To promote behavior analysis worldwide, it is hoped that the opportunities for people and organizations that do not have the necessary resources to expand important information and knowledge will be increased.
The grant program provides financial support ranging from US$1,000 to US$5,000 for projects focused on developing behavior analysis on an international scale. Up to four grants are awarded annually and all proposed expenses must be clearly outlined in a detailed budget statement.
One-time events such as workshops that only influence individuals, for-profit events, projects requesting funds for stipends, administrative support, or hospitality expenses are considered ineligible.
Additionally, the highest-scoring grant recipient from outside the United States may qualify for a travel grant of up to US$1,000 to enable them to present at the annual convention. This travel grant is provided after the convention and is contingent upon the grantee’s attendance and presentation.
Coordinators and faculty of established international ABAI-recognized programs (including accreditation) can apply. Individuals interested in developing an ABAI-recognized or accredited program should check if they meet the requirements.
Grant winners are encouraged to make submissions for and attend the annual convention, as well as to visit laboratories or institutes in the United States during the same trip. Applications are reviewed by the SABA Board of Directors and all applicants must be formally affiliated with a university or institution and must not currently be in receipt of a SABA International Development Grant.
Recipients of the International Development Grant are required to submit a brief report on the use of the grant and an outline of expenditures by April 1 of the following year. Projects that focus on systems-level issues or create lasting infrastructure with the potential to strengthen behavior analysis in a region over the long term are viewed most favorably.
