Description
The Diversity in Psychology and Law Research Awards are administered by the American Psychology-Law Society’s BRIDGE Committee to promote diversity within the Society. The program supports student research on psycholegal issues related to diversity, as well as research by students from groups underrepresented in AP-LS. Relevant topics include psychology, law, diversity, and multiculturalism, such as psycholegal research concerning race, gender, culture, and sexual orientation.
Consistent with the BRIDGE Committee’s mission, the awards facilitate research by underrepresented individuals and research on issues of interest and importance to those groups. Proposals should explain their significance for psychology and law, their contribution to understanding or promoting diversity or multiculturalism, and how funding could benefit the project and generate future research.
