APF's Pre-College Psychology Grant program provides financial support for efforts aimed at improving the quality of education in psychological science and its application in secondary schools for talented students.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">The program awards grants of up to $20,000 to projects that improve the quality of high school education in psychology and/or encourage talented high school students to pursue careers in psychology. Priority is given to projects that reinforce the discipline of psychology as a science in secondary school curricula; expand the profile of psychology as a science among talented high school students; convey to high school students that psychological science is a tool to improve society; and teach students about career options that apply psychology outside of an academic setting. Proposals must focus on supporting the education of talented high school students.</p>

<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.kendalcharitablefunds.org/" target="_blank">Kendal Charitable Funds</a>
is seeking proposals for promising innovations that will transform the
experience of aging. Established in 1989, the organization raises and
disburses funds in support of the charitable purposes of the <a href="http://www.kendal.org/" target="_blank">Kendal Corporation</a> and its affiliates, a system of not-for-profit communities, programs, and services for older adults.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The funds' Promising Innovations grant program seeks to support new
projects designed to enhance the lives of older adults, whether through
services, research, and/or developing new understandings and awareness
of the potential for aging well. The program is looking for pilot
projects that address one or more of these criteria. Priority will be
given to opportunities that have the greatest potential for change and
replication to impact the greatest number of individuals. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Potential project topics include but are not limited to 1) The Field
of Aging — wellness enhancement, quality of life, multi-generational
relationships, and home and community; and 2) Populations of Older
Adults — frail, thriving, underserved, minority, and cognitively
impaired. In addition, the foundation may consider other grants to
individuals and organizations whose proposals compliment these topics. Grants are available only for new programs; existing programs are not eligible for funding.</span></div>

The interaction of health, work, family status, and economic wellbeing is enormously complex, and the direction of causal effects among those factors is often unclear. Because of those complexities, the FOA especially encourages innovative approaches to (1) modeling the dynamic processes underlying labor force decisions over the life-cycle, and (2) enabling valid causal inference regarding the effects of economic and health factors on work decisions as well as the effects of work on health status. The FOA calls for analysis of secondary datasets, development of new datasets, observational and experimental analysis, cross-national comparisons; and quasi-experiments enabled by changes in public policy.
