The Foundation provides financial support in the form of grants and awards. This assistance supports the advancement of the Foundation’s mission. We encourage:

1. Projects of High Scientific Calibre
The Foundation looks for grant proposals of high scientific calibre that are relevant to consumer needs and are within the Foundation’s priorities.

2. FPSC-Requested Research
The Foundation will identify specific research areas and program priorities. To encourage and stimulate research and the submission of research applications in these areas, funding opportunity announcements and requests for applications may be issued to support research in an understudied area of behavioural science, to take advantage of current scientific opportunities, to address a high program priority, or to meet additional needs in research training and infrastructure.

3. Unsolicited Research
The Foundation may consider supporting “unsolicited” research and training applications that do not fall within the scope of requested targeted announcements. These applications originate from research ideas or training needs, yet also address the mission of the Foundation.

The Foundation supports academics and practitioners at various stages in their careers, from pre-doctoral students on research training grants to investigators with extensive experience who run large research centers. The Foundation is committed to supporting new and unique research projects and those involving partners and collaborative efforts. The awarding of all research projects will follow a peer review process involving individuals from the Foundation Board of Directors and others as required.

These research opportunities will encourage innovative approaches and areas of investigation for study and dissemination to the general public.
