Description
The Drama Therapy Fund’s Graduate Student Empirical Research Grant encourages drama therapists in graduate school to begin conducting empirical research. It supports quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods projects, helping students obtain the practical materials and services needed to carry out their work.
The grant can cover research supplies, measurement instruments, statistical assistance, transcription, transportation, and recording equipment. Its focus is on practical research expenses rather than salaries, food, or gifts. The Drama Therapy Fund is a not-for-profit charitable organization supporting the development and growth of drama therapy and works alongside the North American Drama Therapy Association (NADTA).
