Alcoholic Beverage Medical Research Foundation/The Foundation for Alcohol Research Grants Program

Deadlines for submitting applications are February 1 and September 1.

ABMRF/The Foundation for Alcohol Research is a nonprofit independent research organization that provides support for scientific studies on the use and prevention of misuse of alcohol. It is one of the few organizations in the United States and Canada that provides funds for interdisciplinary research in the biological, medical, epidemiological, behavioral, and social sciences in this field.

Financial support for the Foundation is received primarily from the brewing industries of the United States and Canada. With the rising cost of research, the Foundation has recently approved a plan to expand its funding sources to ensure its future will be as strong as its past.

Add-a-Day Scientific Conference Grants

These grants support Add-a-Day conferences which are those meetings that occur at the beginning or end of a scientific conference other than American Psychological Association.

Deadline: June 1, 2010; December 1, 2010

Sponsor: Science Directorate

Add-a-Day conferences are those meetings that occur at the beginning or end of a scientific conference other than APA (e.g., Society for Ingestive Behavior or Psychonomics Society). The other organization need not be primarily psychology oriented. The conference may result in a volume or an alternative form of publication.

The funding range is from $500 to $3,000.

Prospective applicants are urged to consult with APA Science Directorate staff for advice on the conference organization and application (e.g., formats or budget allowances). The committee makes recommendations for funding to the Science Directorate. The review period is approximately 8 weeks.

The requirements below must be met in order to submit a proposal.

* One of the primary organizers must be a member of APA.
* Only academic institutions accredited by a regional body may apply. Independent research institutions must provide evidence of affiliation with such an accredited institution. Joint proposals from cooperating institutions are encouraged.
* Conferences may be held only in the United States, its possessions, or Canada.
* APA governance groups including APA Divisions and related entities are not eligible for funding under this program.

Conference proceedings and presentation materials (including electronic presentations) must be submitted to APA three months after the date the conference is held. APA will hold the conference proceedings for three years. If a book has not been published by APA or another publisher within the three-year holding period, APA will place the conference proceedings in PsycEXTRA.

PsycEXTRA is a companion database to the scholarly PsycINFO, which is designed to link academics, clinicians, librarians, consumers, policy-makers, and researchers to a variety of information sources covering psychology, behavioral science, and health; PsycEXTRA provides the readership with original documents, including proceedings, newsletters, magazines, newspapers, technical and annual reports, government reports, and consumer brochures.

Organizers should send the original proposal and seven copies including all appendices to the Science Directorate by the deadline.
