Description
The American Psychological Foundation (APF), with sponsorship from APA Division 20: Adult Development and Aging, supports new research by graduate students and early-career psychologists studying adult development and aging. Proposed work should be congruent with Dr. K. Warner Schaie’s research goals and methodological approaches to studying these areas.
The program prioritizes original, innovative projects that contribute to the field, with attention to research quality, viability, and potential impact. Review also considers applicants’ ability to execute the work, the importance of the funding to project completion, and plans to disseminate findings. APF favors unique, independent research but also supports derivative projects within larger studies. Recent funded work has explored transgender older adults’ retirement experiences and validated intrinsic functional capacity in midlife adults.
