Division Presidents,
The deadline for interdivisional grants is just around the corner, and CODAPAR is prepared to issue $25,000 in grants again this year. I strongly encouraged you to make sure that members of your division are aware of this opportunity for funding. Please forward to your executive boards, listserves, Web sites, newsletters, etc. Many outstanding projects have been funded in the past, including creation of various guidelines, start-up funds for conferences/workshops, outreach campaigns for initiatives, etc.
A full listing of past projects and information on how to apply for the 2012 grants (deadline: December 2, 2011) is available online at http://www.apa.org/about/awards/interdivisional-grants-project.aspx. The call for proposals is attached, as well.
Please let me know how I can help you in getting the word out to your division members.
Best,
Chad

2012 INTERDIVISIONAL GRANT PROGRAM
Call for Proposals
The Committee on Division/APA Relations (CODAPAR) of the American Psychological Association (APA) seeks proposals for collaborative projects sponsored by two or more APA divisions. The purpose of the program is to support joint activities that enhance the work, interests, or goals of two or more divisions. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- furthering APA’s goals of working to advance psychology as a science, a profession, and a means of promoting human welfare;
- projects that promote collaboration between the science and practice of psychology;
- fostering the recruitment of ethnic minorities into psychology, APA or division membership, or APA governance; and
- activities that focus on a currently unaddressed topic or area in psychology.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Proposals must meet the following requirements to be considered by CODAPAR:
- Projects must be sponsored by at least two divisions. Priority will be given to projects that demonstrate significant collaboration between the sponsoring divisions;
- The projects may not duplicate an activity currently being undertaken by another APA office or group; and
- The project must be completed within 12 months of receipt of funding. If projects will extend beyond 12 months, proposals must indicate which deliverable tasks will be funded by the grant in the initial 12 months of funding.
CONTENTS AND SUBMISSION
Proposals must be submitted to CODAPAR Staff Liaison Chad Rummel, crummel@apa.org, no later than December 2, 2011, and should include the following:
- Cover Page (including sponsoring divisions and 150-word abstract)—template attached
- Budget Summary (including amount of request, any matching funds, and justification)—template attached
- Proposal (limited to five pages) that includes:
· the rationale, methods of implementation, goals, measurable outcomes, and timeline of the project;
· brief comments on how the project meets the purposes of the Interdivisional Grants Program;
· how each division will participate and assist in meeting outcomes of project; and
· how the project aligns with the goals and objectives of APA’s strategic plan.
REVIEW CRITERIA
Proposals will be reviewed and ranked using the following criteria. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring divisions to ensure these elements are included in the proposal.
- Clearly stated goals and a well-defined outcome;
- Innovative project goals and outcomes;
- Alignment with the ongoing goals of the divisions involved;
- True collaboration between the sponsoring divisions;
- Alignment with the goals and objectives of APA’s strategic plan; and
- Reasonableness of budget request and budget justification (Note: Funds should be used to support direct project costs rather than indirect costs, such as conference travel)
AWARDS AND REPORTING
CODAPAR will review all proposals and make recommendations to the Board of Directors at its February 2012 meeting. Funds will be made available and sent to the lead division’s treasurer in March 2012. Recipients of grants will be required to provide an interim progress report by September 1, 2012, and a final project report by March 15, 2013. In addition, CODAPAR may request status updates throughout the project to be shared with the APA Division Dialogue and APA Monitor. Not filing the interim or final reports will render participating divisions ineligible for applying for future grants. Once the reports have been submitted, these divisions will again be eligible to apply to the IGP.
