Description
The American Psychology-Law Society (AP-LS) offers small grants to support empirical graduate research addressing psycholegal issues. Administered by the Division 41 Graduate Student Grants-in-Aid Committee, the program supports future or early active projects with direct relevance to practice, research, or public policy in psychology and law.
The committee seeks research that has meaning for the field or contributes significantly to theory or knowledge. Review emphasizes a clear rationale, sound methodology and analytic planning, and a realistic path to completion. Open science practices—such as preregistering hypotheses, sharing code and data, and planning dissemination—are also valued. Funding supports resources critical to completing the proposed research, with clearly justified costs.
