Additional Information

Comments The APF Visionary Grants seek to seed innovation through supporting research, education and intervention projects and programs that use psychology to solve social problems in the following priority areas: Understanding and fostering the connection between behavior and physical health to ensure well-being. Reducing stigma and prejudice to promote unity and harmony.Understanding and preventing violence to create a safer, more humane world. Supporting programs that address the long-term psychological needs of individuals and communities in the aftermath of disaster. One-year grants are available in amounts of up to $20,000. Preference will be given to pilot projects that, if successful, would be strong candidates for support from major federal and foundation funding agencies, and “demonstration projects” that promise to generalize broadly to similar settings in other geographical areas and/or to other settings.
