The Marian R. Stuart Grant, administered by the American Psychological Foundation (APF), supports an early-career psychologist’s research, practice, or education on the connection between mental and physical health. The program particularly emphasizes work that contributes to public health and gives preference to psychologists working in medical schools.
Supported approaches may include research-based programs teaching medical doctors counseling skills, examining how behavior affects health, or investigating psychologists’ roles in medical settings for patients’ benefit. These examples do not limit the program’s scope. Past funded projects have addressed integrated psychosis and HIV services among Latino families, binge interventions for adults with type 2 diabetes, and self-management and healthcare transition readiness among adolescents with chronic health conditions.
