Description
The Society of Pediatric Psychology (SPP), Division 54 of the American Psychological Association, established this grant to highlight the importance of diversity in pediatric psychology research and clinical care. It supports research by predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows that integrates culture, race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, language differences, socioeconomic status, and/or religiosity. Other aspects of diversity may be considered when applicants provide sufficient rationale in their cover letter.
Possible topics include health disparities, stigma, and culturally relevant assessment and intervention. Previously supported work includes Spanish-speaking families’ experiences in pediatric care, protective cultural resources and sleep in Black youth, health problems among refugee parent-child dyads exposed to trauma, and weight disparities among transgender and gender-nonconforming youth.
