Grants Available: The amount awarded will vary from US$1,000 up to US$5,000 each. One grant will be awarded annually. The SABA Board reserves the right not to award any grant in a given year.
Additional Information: SABA welcomes proposals for innovative research in DEI. These grants are intended to facilitate promising student research projects in behavior analysis. Proposals must be written clearly and concisely, address a question that would be viewed as important to DEI both within and outside the behavior analytic community, and be methodologically rigorous.
Proposals eligible for this grant funding will involve empirical studies and demonstration projects of direct relevance to diversity, equity, or inclusion, where diversity refers to the traits and characteristics that make people unique; equity refers to ensuring fair treatment and equality of opportunity for all individuals; and inclusion refers to the behaviors and social norms that ensure people feel welcome. Eligible proposals may target any aspect of DEI, but preference will be given to substantive projects that evaluate the impact of DEI efforts in community or organizational settings.
Funded proposals will be informed, at least in part, by a behavior analytic perspective. The proposed project may represent part of a multidisciplinary approach that includes behavior analysis. Additionally, the proposed project may be conducted by a team of student researchers, but one principal investigator must be identified. Funded students are eligible to apply for one additional continuation DEI grant in the subsequent year.
