The Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) Foundation offers seed grants for community outreach and research projects in exercise and sport psychology. The program provides limited support to AASP members, particularly early-career professionals, pre-tenured faculty, and students beginning work that brings research and practice together.
Projects should be clearly articulated, contribute to the field’s knowledge base, and ideally have potential to develop into further outreach or research supported by additional funding. The Foundation reviews applications quarterly.
