Research Fund
The Research Fund Appeal
Applications are now invited from BABCP members for the Association's annual research grant. This year we are pleased to
announce that the Grant has been increased to £16,000, entries must be received by the end of July 2009.
A three-month long peer review process will then take place with the successful applicant due to be announced in November.
This is the third time the grant will have been awarded. Craig Steel said "This grant is specifically aimed at facilitating research ideas from practicing CBT therapists who have an eye on directly improving clinical outcome. We welcome applications which aim to develop novel CBT interventions. We exclude applications from individuals who have previously been awarded a major grant because we want to encourage applications from a wide range of clinicians. We are interested in the value of the clinical idea, and will be quite accommodating to the fact that individuals may not have written a research application before".
Past award winners have included Polly Waite for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Low Self-esteem: a preliminary randomised controlled trial in a primary care setting, and Jennifer Wild for Evaluating Training in CBT.
