The American Psychological Foundation’s Henry David Fund supports young psychologists with a demonstrated interest in the behavioral aspects of human reproductive behavior or related population concerns. This research grant supports ongoing work in these areas. Applicants from all relevant disciplines may apply when their work takes a demonstrated psychological approach, with preference given to psychologists.
The program emphasizes demonstrated interest, innovation and originality, research quality, and the criticality of funding. Past funded work illustrates its breadth: projects have examined hormonal contraceptive links to brain structure and spatial cognition, decision-making when childbirth progress slows or stalls, and culturally specific risk and resilience factors affecting the relationship between reproductive coercion and adverse health outcomes among Latinx individuals.
