Description
This grant initiative from the American Psychology-Law Society (AP-LS) aims to advance interdisciplinary research at the intersection of psychology and law, particularly on new or understudied topics. The program seeks to broaden the discipline and amplify its practical impact through projects that employ novel theoretical or methodological approaches, engage cross-disciplinary collaborations, and address issues relevant to disadvantaged or traditionally understudied populations. Collaboration with practitioners or policymakers is required, and preference is given to proposals that foster inclusivity or address the needs of underrepresented groups in psychology-law research.
