Description
This award is designed to advance the research careers of mid-career scholars in school psychology by supporting their pursuit of large-scale external research funding. The program provides both direct funding and structured mentorship from senior scholars to help recipients develop successful grant applications for major federal or foundation grants. The initiative is intended for associate professors (or equivalent professionals) who are several years post-tenure or post-doctorate and have not yet secured large external funding but are making progress toward that goal. The award focuses on building research capacity, expanding scholarly impact, and enhancing competitiveness for significant extramural funding.
