AIER Apply for Grant Funding
Submissions are accepted throughout the year, with awardees announced by December of the same year. Grants for both research and educational initiatives are available.
AIER Grant Submissions
AAPL members are encouraged to apply for educational grants to develop an innovative educational product or for research grants to conduct research in forensic psychiatry. AAPL members can collaborate with non-AAPL members but the lead developer of the educational projects or the principal investigator of research submissions must be an AAPL member. Proposals should be submitted for no more than $25,000. Proposals for smaller amounts are encouraged.
There are two types of awards. The Education Committee will consider proposals for educational projects that will benefit forensic psychiatrists, forensic psychiatry trainees, and other professionals. The Research Committee will consider proposals for research that advances the field of forensic psychiatry.
Awards can be used for: Production of materials, data analysis and collection, including salary support for research assistants and statisticians. Funds may be used to purchase technology needed for the project that is not otherwise available. The reviewers reserve the opportunity to request further information about proposed purchases or uses of specific technology.
Awards may not be used for: Indirect costs (e.g., costs for general operations such as utilities, administrative offices, etc.), salary support for principal investigator/co-investigators, or travel and lodging to the AAPL meeting.
Submit only one project per application. If the grant request has been prepared by a committee of AAPL, please indicate.
