International School Psychology Research Initiative
SSSP is dedicated to advancing the science of school psychology in the United States and globally. SSSP and the International School Psychology Association (ISPA) invite proposals by international researchers to investigate important school psychology topics within or beyond the researcher’s home country or region. Proposals that involve collaboration among several countries are encouraged to apply for possible funding of one grant of up to $10,000. Please note that it is SSSP’s policy that no indirect costs (IDC) will be allocated for the International School Psychology Research Initiatives.
The 2022 Request for Proposal can be found here. The 2023 RFA is scheduled to be posted in September with a December 2023 due date.
