Description
The American Psychological Foundation (APF) administers this fund to advance and apply knowledge about identified gifted and talented children and adolescents. Established through a bequest in 1974, it supports research, pilot projects, and research-based programs that enable and enhance young people’s development. It also encourages promising psychologists to continue innovative research and programs in this area.
The program emphasizes the quality and impact of proposed work, innovation, and contributions to the field. Past funded projects have explored gifted underachievement, the under-identification of adversity-exposed gifted students, long-term effects of gifted-student programs, and gifted students’ academic competence and socioemotional well-being. Other supported work has examined generative artificial intelligence in gifted education and talent development.
