To encourage international participation, the APA Trauma Psychology Division (56) has been providing an annual travel stipend to attend the APA Convention for international students who are citizens of developing countries and enrolled in a graduate psychology program in their home country or enrolled in a graduate psychology program in the U.S., and will be presenting a trauma related poster, paper, or a participant in a symposium/panel accepted for the APA convention. Applicants are not required to be current student members of APA or Divisions.

 This year, the 2023 APA Convention is taking place in Washington, DC.. It was recognized by the Division 56 that support for international students from developing countries, engaged in trauma related research and activities is an important opportunity, especially given the continuing challenges occurring due to the pandemic.

 This year the Division has added an additional stipend and will be awarding two stipends consisting of $1000 each to help support the work of international students from developing countries in their graduate programs and participation in the APA Convention program.

 The deadline for submission: May 26, 2023

 Please send a copy of your CV, the proposal abstract that was accepted for the APA convention, the notification of APA Division which accepted the proposal, your country of citizenship, and the university/college graduate psychology program in which you are enrolled and anticipated date of graduation to Elizabeth Carll, PhD, Chair, Division 56 International Committee at ecarll@optonline.net. The selected trauma proposals will be determined by a subcommittee of the Division 56 International Committee.
