Description
The Roy Scrivner Memorial Research Grant is an American Psychological Foundation (APF) program supporting promising graduate investigators in LGBTQIA+ family psychology and therapy. It encourages basic and applied research on the challenges sexual and gender minority people face in forming, defining, and maintaining families, while encouraging students to build careers engaged with LGBTQIA+ family issues.
The program seeks to deepen understanding of family challenges associated with cultural, racial, socioeconomic, and family structure diversity. It also supports research on successful coping mechanisms, sources of support, resilience among family members, and clinical issues and interventions. The grant honors Roy Scrivner, a psychologist and LGBTQIA+ advocate who founded the American Psychological Association’s Division of Family Psychology Committee on Lesbian and Gay Family Issues.
