Description
The Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) Foundation offers small seed grants for community outreach and research projects that connect research with practice. The program provides limited support for AASP members’ work, particularly projects led by students, early-career professionals, and pre-tenured faculty. Projects must contribute to the knowledge base in exercise and sport psychology.
Proposals should clearly articulate their goals and approach and ideally show potential to generate further community outreach or research and additional funding. The grants support practical project resources, such as equipment, hourly assistance, materials, and supplies. Applications are reviewed quarterly using a rubric covering project design, research–practice integration, contributions to knowledge, future potential, clarity, and budget.
