The Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) offers Research Grants to support projects that integrate research and practice and advance knowledge in sport and performance psychology, counseling, and related fields. The program provides limited seed support, particularly for students and early career professionals within the first seven years of their current profession as faculty, practitioners, or researchers.
Priority goes to teams that include an early career professional and/or student. Pending available funds, secondary consideration goes to projects from tenured faculty or practitioners that clearly benefit AASP members. Proposals must articulate research questions and study designs, use research practices appropriate to their methodology, and demonstrate potential to contribute knowledge through publications and AASP conference presentations.
