Description
The American Psychological Foundation (APF) administers the Lorraine D. Eyde Fund Grant to support research investigating the ethical and professional use of psychological tests. Established through Eyde’s bequest, the fund continues her career-long work advocating for ethical testing and professional standards that ensure tests and test scores are used appropriately, effectively, and fairly.
Research may address privacy and confidentiality, reliability and validity, employment selection, test construction, tester qualifications, race, gender and transgender issues, or biases disproportionately affecting underserved or marginalized populations. Researchers in neuropsychology, personality, vocational psychology, educational testing and entrance examinations, cognitive ability testing, and other testing-related fields are encouraged to apply. Proposals are not limited to these examples and may examine a broad range of issues related to test use and ethics.
