Description
The Diversity in Psychology and Law Research Awards aim to promote diversity within the American Psychology-Law Society (AP-LS) by supporting student-led research on psycholegal issues related to diversity, multiculturalism, and the intersection of psychology and law. The awards are open to projects that address topics such as race, gender, culture, sexual orientation, or are led by students from underrepresented groups, including but not limited to racial/ethnic minorities, first-generation college students, LGBTQIA individuals, and students with disabilities. The program is managed by the BRIDGE Committee and seeks to advance research that benefits both underrepresented individuals and the broader field.
