The National Science Foundation has played a leading role in funding SPN and its partner sites. In 1999 the NSF Social Psychology Program and Division of Undergraduate Education supported SPN with a five-year award (Grant #9950517), and in 2004 the Social Psychology Program made a second five-year award (Grant #0339002). Both grants were made to Wesleyan University, with Scott Plous serving as Principal Investigator. |

In 1998 the web site of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, SPSP.org, became a SPN partner site, and since that time SPSP and SPN have worked closely together. In 2004 SPSP awarded Dr. Plous its "Distinguished Service to the Society Award" and began contributing funds to defray the costs of running SPN and SPSP.org. |
