Description
The Edward S. Shapiro Mid-Career Research Initiative Award is designed to advance the research careers of mid-career scholars in school psychology. Administered by the Society for the Study of School Psychology (SSSP), the award provides both financial support and structured mentorship aimed at helping recipients secure significant external funding from federal or foundation sources. The initiative targets scholars who have demonstrated progress toward major grant applications but have not yet obtained substantial external funding, with a focus on fostering impactful research and professional growth at a pivotal career stage.
