Policies Regarding STP Grants/Awards Programs

(Approved August 2011; Updated June 2025)

    • Only STP members are eligible to receive STP awards and grants, and recipients must continue membership during the year that the recipient receives funding.

    • STP members may apply for only one award annually and will be asked to verify in their application they are applying for no other awards in the given year. For some awards, applicants who are not selected for the award are invited to be considered the following year. If you choose this option, you may not apply for other awards that year.

    • When considering potential applicants whose contributions are having a broad impact, the committee should consider colleagues from underrepresented groups who may have diverse backgrounds and experiences.

    • New applicants to a grant program are given priority over those who have previously received funds from that grant program.

    • During their terms, STP Executive Committee members are ineligible to apply for an STP grant or award.

    • During their terms, committee members are ineligible to apply for the grant or award program on which they serve. 

    • Within a calendar year of receiving funds, all grant recipients shall submit a final report that details how funds were spent and briefly describes the outcomes of activities funded.

    • All unused funds shall be returned to the STP Treasurer.

    • Funding of indirect costs is prohibited. Recipients should contact the Treasurer (treasurer@teachpsych.org) prior to purchases if they have questions about allowable expenses.
       
    • A description of the dimensions on which applications will be evaluated are made publicly available (e.g., included in the call for applications).

    • Before traveling, please review STP's travel reimbursement information.

      If you have any questions regarding the grants or awards programs, please contact the Vice President for Grants and Awards
