Description
The American Psychological Foundation’s Practice Based Evidence Fund provides initial resources for novel research documenting, evaluating, or implementing practices in community mental health, private practice, and other local outpatient settings. The program supports work grounded in everyday clinical care, with a focus on psychologists primarily affiliated with these settings.
Applicants may propose either an evaluation of a clinical practice innovation or a project evaluating clinical care and the implementation of evidence-based practices in typical practice. Proposals should explain the innovation or process, its anticipated outcomes and impact, and how the work will continue after funding ends. Special priority goes to projects with potential to benefit marginalized or under-resourced communities or populations. Applicants must also describe how they will share findings through publications, presentations, or other means.
