The applicant program will design a project that enables a hands-on learning and leadership opportunity for a faculty member (project leader) around a specific program enhancement. A project consultant(s) from another institution will be identified. The project leader will receive skills/training related to the defined program enhancement such that they will be expected to serve as the leader of the implementation at their home institution.
This training experience may be conducted at the applicant program's institution (home) or at the consultant's institution (host). These enhancements may be in one of several possible areas enumerated under funding preferences. The host institution(s) may be any outside institution relevant to the project. Examples of qualified hosts are other departments or teaching programs in any specialty, other universities, foundation, or government agencies that are leaders in areas relevant to the program enhancement.
Project funds may be used to support travel expenses for the project leader and/or for a site visit by the project consultant. Funds may not be used for salary support.
Eligibility Criteria
The program must be a department of family medicine or one of its divisions or a family medicine residency program.
The faculty member designated as project leader must:
Be a current member of STFM.
Be a full-time faculty member at a family medicine department of family medicine residency program and employed in academic family medicine no more than 10 years.
Attend an STFM Annual Spring Conference (at their program's expense) within 2 years after receipt of this award. The project leader agrees to attend all designated Foundation functions at that meeting and may be asked to speak about their experience during the conference at the Foundation's annual reception and/or other venues.
The Program Director and the Project Leader agree to jointly submit two reports:
At 12 months a report on progress made toward implementing the program enhancement will be due. The report will describe the impact of the experience on the faculty, learners, and on the educational program, and will include any preliminary data. Either this report or the final report should also describe the recipients' (program and faculty) satisfaction with the experience.
At 2 years a final report on the implementation of the project, along with appropriate outcomes data will be submitted.

APAGS/Psi Chi Junior Scientist Fellowship
APAGS and Psi Chi are committed to promoting psychological science and the needs of research-oriented students. The Junior Scientist Fellowship provides support for students entering their first year, or the first semester of their second year, of a research-oriented graduate program.
Deadline: July 1, 2013
Sponsor: APAGS
Intent
The intent of the Junior Scientist Fellowship is two-fold: to provide funding for a first- or second-year graduate level project and to provide constructive feedback to select applicants to increase their chances of achieving success on a future National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship application.
The primary intent is to recognize outstanding research-oriented students who are entering their first year (or first semester of second year) of graduate study and to help them get their research off the ground. Graduate students from research-based psychology and neuroscience programs are eligible to apply.
The second intent of this fellowship is to provide written feedback to select applicants. Many students apply for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship without ever having applied for a research fellowship. It is our intent to provide feedback to select applicants so that they can use that feedback to strengthen their NSF graduate fellowship application.
Funds
Funds for this $1,000 fellowship must be used to support direct research costs. These funds can be used to pay participants, purchase essential equipment or software, acquire books or instruction manuals critical to one's line of research, pay fees to publish at open-access journals, or for any other direct research cost. The funds cannot be used for indirect costs such as travel, personal computer or class textbooks. The funds can be used for any direct research costs in a student's first year (or second year, if submitting in the summer prior to one's first year) of graduate school and do not need to be limited to the research discussed in the research essay.
This grant is available only to students who are entering their first year, or the first semester of their second year, of a research-oriented masters or doctoral program in fall 2013. Students that have completed more than 12 months in a graduate program are not eligible. Students entering into programs with a practice component are eligible but should describe their graduate level research intentions in the personal statement essay. To be eligible, one must be a member of APAGS and a member of Psi Chi. This means that students entering their first year of graduate school must have joined Psi Chi as an undergraduate; students entering their second year of graduate school may have joined as undergraduates or during their second semester of graduate school.
How to apply
Each application must include all of the following materials:
1. Personal Statement Essay: Includes background information about the applicant, why the applicant believes she or he should be awarded the fellowship, and the applicant's future career goals. This essay should not exceed one page (single spaced) and will be assessed according to NSF's intellectual merit and broader impacts criteria. Please include your Psi Chi member number at the end of your personal statement essay.
2. Research Essay: This essay includes two major components: previous research experience and future directions. The previous research experience component should demonstrate an understanding of prior research conducted, highlight one's skills, and illustrate development as a scientist. The future directions component can include either a formal proposal for a specific research project or may more generally address the future direction of one's research. The research essay must not exceed 3 pages (single spaced) and any references, figures, tables or appendices must fit within the page limits. The research essay will be assessed according to NSF's intellectual merit and broader impacts criteria.
3. Letter of Recommendation: This letter can come from either your undergraduate or graduate advisor. It should address your qualifications and promise as a scientist, and is not to exceed two pages (single spaced).
4. (Optional) Curriculum Vitae (CV): Students have the option of submitting a brief CV (not to exceed two pages, single spaced). See this Psychology Today article for a description of how to compose a CV and to see examples. Please submit each of these items as a separate PDF file. We will not accept Word documents. Letters of recommendation (if and only if stated as a requirement above) should also be in PDF form; however, we will accept both Word and PDF versions of the letter of recommendation only.
Submissions
Please note the online system will close at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on the day of the deadline; all application materials must be submitted at that time. No mail submissions will be accepted. If you are not an APAGS member at the time of submission you may attach a copy of the receipt you get when you join APA/APAGS electronically as proof of your membership. Letters of recommendation may be submitted separately via email by the deadline. Submit your application online.
Please read this carefully: Approximately two months before an application is due, you will see this specific grant/award as a choice in the drop-down menu under “Grants” in the online submission form. Do not apply until the grant is listed in this menu as your application will not be accepted. Check back periodically if you are waiting for a chance to submit.
