Please do not respond to this email address. Find an address below.

2) Fall Grants-In-Aid Program: Grants-in-Aid (GIA) support scientific
research in social problem areas
related to the basic interests and goals of SPSSI and particularly
those that are not likely to receive support from traditional
sources. Funding up to $1000 is available for graduate student
research, with strong preference given to applications from students
at the dissertation stage of the graduate career. Funding up to $2000
is available for research by SPSSI members who already have a PhD.
The Committee especially encourages proposals involving (a) unique
and timely research opportunities, (b) underrepresented institutions,
graduate students, and junior scholars, (c) volunteer research teams,
and (d) actual, not pilot, projects. The applicant must be a member
of SPSSI. More information can be found at www.spssi.org/

3) Fall Clara Mayo Grants Program:
The Clara Mayo Grant program supports masters' theses or pre-
dissertation research on aspects of sexism, racism, or prejudice,
with preference given to students enrolled in a terminal master's
program. Studies of the application of theory or the design of
interventions or treatments to address these problems are welcomed.
SPSSI members who have matriculated in graduate programs in psychology,
applied social science, and related disciplines are encouraged to
apply. Up to four grants, each up to $1000, are awarded annually. For

4) 2008 Dalmas Taylor Public Policy Internship:
Our 2007 Dalmas Taylor intern, Besangie Sellars, a doctoral student
at the University of Michigan, has recently finished an eight week
internship in Washington working with SPSSI and APA. Her work focused
on the development of policy fact sheets and preparation of summaries
of legislative initiatives, and she had the opportunity to gain some
first-hand experience in the policy processes on Capitol Hill. To learn
more about 2008 internship opportunities for yourself or one of your
students, go to http://www.spssi.org/Taylor_flyer.html.
