The Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) offers Research Grants to provide limited seed support for projects that integrate research and practice. Supported work should contribute to knowledge in sport and performance psychology, counseling, or related fields, with clearly articulated research questions, study designs, and research practices appropriate to the chosen methodology.
The program prioritizes teams that include students or early career professionals, such as faculty, practitioners, or researchers within the first seven years of their current profession. Pending available funds, projects from tenured faculty or practitioners receive secondary consideration when they clearly benefit AASP members. AASP’s Research Development Committee reviews proposals, and the program emphasizes sharing findings through publications, conference presentations, social media, and other identified outlets.
