Description
This grant is designed to support early career professionals (ECPs) at the intersection of psychology and law, particularly those in clinical practice. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by ECPs—such as obtaining licensure, establishing private practices, and pursuing continuing education—the grant aims to provide targeted assistance during this crucial period of professional identity development. The program also seeks to advance the mission of the American Psychology-Law Society (AP-LS) by encouraging activities that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the field. Awardees are expected to share the impact of the grant on their clinical practice and contribute to AP-LS communications, highlighting their experiences and the broader societal benefits.
