Description
The Community Catalyst Grant, offered by the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP), is designed to support projects that build community and foster professional development among personality and social psychologists. The program encourages innovative proposals that explicitly demonstrate how their activities will create connections, enhance professional growth, and cultivate inclusive environments within the SPSP community. Supported activities may include networking dinners, collaborative workshops, sharing job materials, and skills-building sessions. The grant prioritizes the formation of new communities and initiatives that have the potential for field-wide impact, especially those that foster inclusion and support historically marginalized groups.
