The program encourages interdisciplinary work that integrates research and practice, addresses the research-to-practice gap, and advances knowledge through high-quality research with planned impact within and beyond academia.
Administered by AASP’s Research Development Committee, the program builds relationships across disciplines and institutions and supports existing or emerging collaborations between students or early career professionals and mid-to-later career colleagues. Priority goes to teams involving students or early career professionals, defined as those within the first seven years of their current profession. Applicants are encouraged to explain how their projects support early career professionals.
