Description
The Instructional Resource Grant aims to stimulate the creation of high-quality teaching resource materials and to encourage instructional research that advances the teaching of psychology at all educational levels. Funded projects may be general or course-specific and can include empirical research, experiential evaluations, or comprehensive literature reviews. The resulting resources should be suitable for posting on the Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP) website or for publication in peer-reviewed journals, such as Teaching of Psychology. The program emphasizes accessibility, peer review, and alignment with STP's mission, including a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Preference is given to resources that can be distributed in print-friendly formats.
