Wayne F. Placek Grants
These grants support scientific research to increase the general public's understanding of homosexuality and to alleviate the stress that gay men and lesbians experience in this and future civilizations.
Two $15,000 grants are available in research support.
Deadline: March 1, 2012
Sponsor: American Psychological Foundation
The grants support empirical research from all fields of the behavioral and social sciences on any topic related to lesbian, gay, or bisexual issues. Proposals are especially encouraged for empirical studies that address the following topics:
Heterosexuals' attitudes and behaviors toward lesbians and gay men, including prejudice, discrimination, and violence
Family and workplace issues relevant to lesbians and gay men
Subgroups of the lesbian and gay population that have historically been underrepresented in scientific research
These grants are made possible by a bequest from Wayne Placek, a participant in Dr. Evelyn Hooker's groundbreaking research in the 1950s which showed that homosexuality is not a form of psychopathology. Since 1995, the Placek Fund has granted more than $1 million.
Eligibility
Must be either doctoral‐level researcher or graduate student affiliated with an educational institution of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research organization. Graduate students and early career researchers are encouraged to apply.
