Deadline: 1-Mar-23
The American Psychological Foundation is now accepting proposals for its Walter Katkovsky Research Grants which support research on the general topic of psychotherapy.
Research proposals should be directed to questions and hypotheses designed to improve their understanding based on theory or methods of how psychotherapy promotes behavioral, emotional, or cognitive changes.
While the ultimate goal of the research should be to inform the psychotherapy process, its specific focus may be limited to an underlying assumption, hypothesis, or questions; and the actual design may be “clinical” or “experimental” in terms of subjects and procedures. That is, the research design may be a simulation of some aspect of the psychotherapy process (eg, learning or exposure trials) and subjects may or may not be classified as “patients”.
