Spencer Foundation Dissertation Fellowship Award

U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences: The purpose of the research is to add new, fundamental knowledge to behavioral science sub-disciplines and discover generalizable principles. Novel and state-of-the-art approaches to difficult problems are especially welcome, as are integrated programmatic efforts to develop and test theory. Investigations that focus on purely physiological mechanisms or psychopathology cannot be considered by this agency; however, neuroscience approaches to memory, cognition, and personality are not excluded. Similarly, no consideration can be given to purely applied research projects (e.g., human factors studies or applied training programs).
