Call for Submissions : August 1 - September 15, 2010
This grant is designed to support research that is primarily
concerned with dissociation or closely related
topics. Graduate students and undergraduate honors students
are eligible to apply for grants up to $1500. Please
note that grants for projects less than $1500 are also encouraged.
For consideration, the Applicant must fulfill the following criteria:
(1) The Applicant must be either a) a graduate student (in a Masters,
PsyD, or PhD program) in psychology, psychiatry, social work, or related fields; b) an undergraduate psychology honors student or c) a resident in psychiatry.
(2) The proposed research must be primarily concerned with dissociation or
closely related topics.
(3) The Applicant must submit a completed research proposal. The application
will consist of: (a) an applicant information cover sheet (completed
online); (b) a research overview page (completed online); (c) a 1000
word maximum summary of the proposed research presenting the rationale,
aims and hypotheses, research design, and procedures; (d) a proposed budget for
the grant indicating the amount requested and how funds would be spent; (e) a
brief description, attached to the budget, of why the grant will be essential
to performance of the project; (f) CVs from both the applicant and his or her
Faculty Supervisor; (g) a letter of support from the primary faculty member overseeing
the research that addresses the applicant's ability to carry out the proposed
research (this letter can be submitted independently by the faculty member);
and (h) (where applicable) letters of support from recruitment sites.
(4) The research proposal must be approved by the Applicant's graduate faculty
supervisor as submitted. If an award is made and the project is substantially
changed, the Committee must be notified of that fact as soon as possible. If
the revised protocol appears to change resource needs, then the Committee may
perform an ad hoc review of the revised project to assure that the award remains
justified.
(5) Before grant funds can be distributed, the Applicant must provide certification
that the research proposal has been granted approval by the Institutional Review
Board or other Ethics oversight committee of his or her educational institution.
If research is to be conducted outside the educational institution, then certifications
must be provided to the committee for each site.
Proposals will be evaluated on a number of dimensions, including: the relevance
and importance of the research question to the field of dissociation, originality,
feasibility, quality of the aims/hypotheses, how well the methodology addresses
the research question, whether the budget is justified given the research design,
and the overall quality of the proposal.
Awards announcement letters will be sent out in late September or early October
and announced at the 2010 ISSTD Conference in Atlanta, GA.
For questions, please contact Dr. Courtenay
Cavanaugh or Dr. Eric
Vermetten.
