Opportunity Overview
Open now. The American Psychological Foundation is accepting applications for the Dr. Diana Slaughter Kotzin and Mr. Joseph G. Kotzin Fund Grant through October 2, 2026 at 11:59 PM Hawaii Time (HT). The program offers 1 grant of $9,500.
Purpose and Eligibility
The grant supports research, practice, or education by an early career psychologist on child and youth suicide among African Americans. Eligible applicants are early career psychologists no more than 10 years postdoctoral.
Application Requirements
APF identifies the required materials as a project proposal, project timeline, detailed budget and justification, and CV. The live GivingData portal contains the controlling detailed application instructions.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 90/100. This is strongly relevant to Kentucky behavioral-health, pediatric, youth suicide-prevention, school-linked mental-health, academic, and community initiatives when led by an eligible early career psychologist and specifically responsive to African American child and youth suicide.
N9+ Fit: 2/100. The verified program is centered on suicide research, practice, or education rather than remote physical examination or medical-device procurement.
Next Action
Kentucky candidates should verify early-career status, project population and topic alignment, current GivingData prompts, budget compliance, and any human-subjects requirements. New outreach is permitted only after authoritative recipient verification, CRM opt-out review, and sent-history deduplication.
