Description
The Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP), Division 2 of the American Psychological Association, offers this grant to reduce the financial burden of caregiving responsibilities associated with attending its in-person Annual Conference on Teaching (ACT). Funding supports expenses incurred through a care provider rather than the member’s general conference costs.
Caregiving is broadly defined to include support for children, elders, people with disabilities, and STP members who themselves need care or assistance to participate. Support may cover a provider traveling with the member, lodging in the conference city, or care delivered at the conference or at home. Consistent with its mission and statement on addressing systemic racism and inequity, STP encourages applications from members from underrepresented groups with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
