American Psychological Foundation 2027 Marian R. Stuart Grant
The American Psychological Foundation (APF) offers one $20,000 award to advance an early-career psychologist’s research, practice, or education at the intersection of mental and physical health, particularly work that contributes to public health. APF gives preference to psychologists working in medical schools. This is a researcher-led grant supported through qualifying institutions rather than unrestricted operating assistance to any organization.
Funding and controlling 2027 deadline
The individual grant award is $20,000, with one award announced for the 2027 cycle. The application deadline is July 9, 2027, at 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Time (HT), the closing hour established in APF’s official general grant FAQ.

Investigators must demonstrate competency and capacity to carry out the project. Psychologists in medical schools receive preference, but applications are not limited to medical school researchers.
