Strategic Goal Research Grant
NASP is pleased to announce the allocation of non-recurring funds to support small grants for research addressing NASP's strategic goals. These may include projects from university faculty or school-based personnel who have not received extramural funding for the project outlined in the proposal. Applicants must demonstrate that this is a “new initiative,” and not just an extension of work they have already done. These grants are not intended to be used to fund ongoing scholarly or research initiatives. Projects supported by these awards must have a clear timeline and set of expected outcomes for the completion of the project. Application Instructions
Eligibility: Any NASP regular or early career member is eligible to apply. Proposals may be co-authored with a non-NASP member.
Submission deadline: Spring 2024
Contact: Nicholas Affrunti (NASP Director of Research)
2023 Recipient: Jacqueline R. Anderson

Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Justice (EDIJ) Research Grants
As part of NASP's committment to ensuring all children receive an appropriate public education, NASP is funding Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Justice (EDIJ) research grants. One annual award will be provided in each of the following categories: Graduate Student, Early Career, and Established Career. Projects supported by these awards must seek to further equity, diversity, inclusion and/or justice within the K-12 educational setting including but not limited to; student focused interventions, training for school staff (including school psychologists), or system level interventions. Project outcomes must address the specific needs of students who have historically been marginalized in the school setting and for whom traditional mainstream intervention and assessment strategies have been largely unsuccessful or ignored. Application Instructions
