The Zedeck-Jacobs Opportunity Equity in Organizations Grant, offered by the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology Foundation, funds research that deepens understanding of organizational practices affecting access to employment, advancement, development, and fair treatment for all workers. The grant encourages studies that uncover or address unfair discrimination (such as adverse impact or internal equity concerns) and promotes innovative approaches to opportunity equity, social justice, and workplace fairness. Projects may address any aspect of employment, including recruitment, selection, career progression, and strategies to assess or reduce inequity, with special interest in research integrating industrial-organizational psychology with public policy and legal perspectives.
