Description
The Bisexual Research Award is sponsored by APA Division 44, the Society for the Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity. It recognizes the growing importance of bisexuality research within LGBTQ+ psychology and provides concrete support and encouragement to emerging scholars. The award supports a graduate student whose project advances research on the psychology of bisexuality.
The program emphasizes clearly articulated research questions, a relevant foundation in prior empirical findings, and methods suited to the questions being investigated. Reviewers consider originality, innovation, interpretation of actual or anticipated findings, and potential implications for the field. Proposals should address racial, ethnic, gender, cultural, and other diversity issues where appropriate. Project feasibility, timely completion, and dissemination of results are also central considerations.
