quick read - The PSA has released a second special call for studies related to JTF strategic priorities.

The PSA is the recipient of the €200,000 Einstein Foundation Institutional Award.

Second Special Call for Studies – Studying Generalizability with Global Samples (https://psysciacc.org/news/2022-12-06_second-special-call-for-studies-studying-generalizability-with-global-samples.html)

The PSA, supported by the John Templeton Foundation (JTF), welcomes study proposals to test the generalizability of phenomena related to JTF strategic priorities with large, global samples. Optional initial proposals are due by February 15 and required full proposals are due by May 15.

To be eligible for this call, projects must investigate research questions related to one or more of the strategic priorities of JTF in university and community samples across the globe. These priorities include the dynamics of religious change, intellectual humility, religious cognition, character virtues, health, religion, and spirituality.

Selected projects will be carried out through the PSA network and supported by grant staff and funds for data collection.

Please see the official call announcement (https://psysciacc.org/news/2022-12-06_second-special-call-for-studies-studying-generalizability-with-global-samples.html) for details about proposal requirements, grant support, and the project selection process and timeline.
