General Information:
The purpose of PSI is to provide advanced doctoral and early career participants with mentoring, educational, and professional development experiences that will advance them in the development of tangible projects, thus furthering their careers in psychology. PSI is designed to provide networking opportunities with federal and foundation representatives as well as leading ethnic minority psychologists from across the country.
Eligibility:
The purpose of PSI is to provide training to participants who will soon transition or have recently transitioned from graduate school into the early stages of their careers. Therefore, graduate students who have defended their dissertation proposals, as well as early career psychologists, are eligible for this program. All participants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Award Criteria:
The selection of awardees will be based upon the strengths and potential of their concepts, recommendation letters, the degree of match between the goals of PSI and applicant goals/qualifications, and availability within each track. Applicants will be notified by e-mail regarding the selection results shortly after the deadline.
Length of PSI:
The selected participants will arrive in Washington, DC on Sunday, July 20, and the institute will begin with an evening reception. The following six days of intensive training will be filled with seminars, mentoring, and time to further develop projects. Participants will return to their homes on Sunday, July 26.
Cost to Attend:
Those participants who are selected to participate will be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses related to PSI. Travel arrangements will be made directly with APA’s travel office and directly billed to MFP. Hotel accommodations will also be directly billed to MFP. The majority of meals will be covered by MFP.
PSI Format:
A maximum of 10 participants will be selected to participate in each of two tracks: Research and Services. In general, the daily schedule will be filled with plenary sessions (covering topics relevant to the entire group) and breakout sessions (covering topics relevant to each track).
