AAPB FOUNDATION TO FUND THREE RESEARCH GRANTS FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS

The Foundation for Education and Research in Biofeedback and Related Sciences, at its recent Board meeting initiated a new program aimed at stimulating biofeedback research. The Board established funding for three grants at $1,000 each. Eligibility is limited to graduate students doing research in biofeedback. The award will be accompanied by a travel scholarship and a waiver of registration to attend the AAPB annual meeting where the results of the research will be presented. Deadline for applications is October 1, 2009. Successful applicants will be expected to present their work at the AAPB meeting in San Diego in 2010.

Applications should be submitted to the AAPB Foundation via email to aapb@resourcenter.com.

The AAPB Foundation was formed in 1985 at the urging of then AAPB president, Neal Miller. He felt that the organization had a mission to continue to support research and clinical applications in our ever broadening field. A key way to do that is to encourage the interest and application of work by students which will lead to further demonstration of the efficacy of Biofeedback techniques. Presently,  the Foundation annually supports travel scholarships to students whose papers have been accepted for presentation at the annual meeting. Individuals interested in supporting the work of the AAPB Foundation should contact David Stumph dstumph@resourcenter.com or call AAPB at 303-422-8436.
