Supports collaborative projects and activities that enhance the teaching of psychology across institutions.

Only STP members are eligible; SoTL-focused research is not supported by this grant.

--- ## Description The Partnerships Small Grants Program aims to foster communication and collaboration among psychology teachers from different institutions. The grant supports planned activities that promote the teaching of psychology, such as conferences, small meetings, or collaborative projects between individuals at different institutions. Examples of eligible activities include interactive or experiential programs for students, the development of mentoring initiatives for future psychology teachers, or the creation of programs that leverage specialized teaching resources across institutions. Grant funds can be used for materials, equipment, fees, travel, and food related to these collaborative activities. The program encourages applications from colleagues from underrepresented groups and those with diverse backgrounds and experiences. While projects may result in peer-reviewed publications, this is not a requirement. Importantly, research collaborations focused on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) are not eligible for this program; applicants interested in SoTL should consider STP's dedicated SoTL Research Grant. Non-SoTL research collaborations with a significant teaching component are eligible. --- ## Due Dates - November 1, 2026: Grant application deadline (annual) — for funding in the next calendar year _All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates._ --- ## Funding Amount - Maximum award: $2,000 per project - Funds may be divided among several outstanding proposals, so partial funding is possible - Funded projects must be completed during the designated calendar year --- ## Eligibility - Applicants must be members of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP) and maintain membership during the funding year - Open to psychology teachers at 4-year colleges and universities, 2-year colleges, or high schools - Applicants may apply for only one STP award or grant per year - Priority is given to new applicants over those who have previously received funds from this grant program - STP Executive Committee and relevant committee members are ineligible during their terms - SoTL-focused research collaborations are not eligible; non-SoTL projects with a significant teaching component are allowed --- ## Application Process - Review the [Partnerships Small Grants program page](https://teachpsych.org/members/grants/smallgrants) for instructions and details - Applications are submitted online (requires STP member login) - Applicants must verify they are not applying for other STP awards in the same year - A final report detailing use of funds and project outcomes is required within a year of funding - All unused funds must be returned to the STP Treasurer - Indirect costs are not allowed --- ## Additional Information - Since 2012, approximately 38% of submissions have been partially or fully funded - Activities funded may, but are not required to, result in peer-reviewed publications - For questions about allowable expenses, contact the STP Treasurer at [treasurer@teachpsych.org](mailto:treasurer@teachpsych.org) - For questions about the grant or application, contact the PSG Committee Chair at [partnerships@teachpsych.org](mailto:partnerships@teachpsych.org) --- ## External Links - [Partnerships Small Grants program page](https://teachpsych.org/members/grants/smallgrants) - [Apply for this grant](https://teachpsych.org/ApplyPartnerships) - [Grant and Award Policies](https://teachpsych.org/members/policies) - [List of previous Partnerships Small Grants recipients](https://teachpsych.org/page-1863284) - [Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP) home](https://teachpsych.org) --- ## Contact Information | Contact | Email/Phone | Details | |-----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------| | PSG Committee Chair | [partnerships@teachpsych.org](mailto:partnerships@teachpsych.org) | For grant-specific questions | | STP Treasurer | [treasurer@teachpsych.org](mailto:treasurer@teachpsych.org) | For questions on allowable expenses | | STP General Contact | [stp@teachpsych.org](mailto:stp@teachpsych.org) | General inquiries | | STP Phone | 202-336-6013 | Society for the Teaching of Psychology |
