Description
The Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP), through its Community Outreach Committee, funds outreach that brings sport, exercise, and performance psychology services into local communities. Projects must use research, scholarship, or theory to inform evidence-based practice and address a gap in a community organization’s existing services.
The grant prioritizes systematic, sustained programming over one-time interventions and aims to build the partner organization’s capacity to continue meeting community needs. Examples include coaching education, youth sport and life-skills programs, physical activity initiatives, leadership development, and long-term mental skills training. Funding supports program development, implementation, and evaluation—not projects primarily designed to answer research questions or test hypotheses.
