Description
The American Psychological Foundation (APF) administers this annual grant through Lorraine D. Eyde’s bequest, continuing her commitment to ethical test use. It supports research on how psychological tests and test scores can be used appropriately, effectively, and fairly.
Research may address privacy and confidentiality, reliability and validity, employment selection, test construction, or the qualifications of psychologists using tests. Other topics include race, gender, and transgender issues, and testing bias disproportionately affecting underserved or marginalized populations. Relevant fields include neuropsychology, personality, vocational psychology, educational testing and entrance examinations, and cognitive ability testing. These examples are illustrative rather than restrictive; proposals may examine a broad range of questions about test use and ethics.
