The APS Grant for Intercultural and/or International Projects encourages and supports innovative projects that have an intercultural and/or international focus and is to be used for the establishment and implementation of a successful and sustainable project. Projects may aim either to further the intercultural agenda of the Society within the confines of Australia's national boundaries, or to establish and maintain links between the Society and its members and psychology and psychologists in countries where psychology is an emerging discipline.

Projects may be related to any scientific and/or professional aspects of the discipline, provided that they are consistent with the Society's mission statement: "To represent, promote and advance psychology within the context of improving community wellbeing and scientific knowledge". The Grant is not intended to support research projects unless there is a clearly demonstrable outcome in relation to the aims of the Grant. Student research projects are unlikely to be eligible.

Eligible projects may include, but are not restricted to, those that:

• Address scientific and/or professional issues that have intercultural significance for the Australian community, or involve intercultural collaborations amongst Australian psychologists
• Provide further education and training opportunities for psychologists from countries where psychology is an emerging discipline
• Support psychologists from developing countries to attend international conferences in psychology or other relevant events
  or
• Foster collaborations between the Society and psychologists overseas who are seeking support to establish and build scientific and professional psychology within their own country or region.

The grant may be used to support any aspect of a successful and sustainable project, including travel, living allowance, training fees and charges, books and equipment, or other costs associated with the project, provided that the funds are expended in accordance with the budget as approved by the selection committee.
Eligibility
To be eligible for a grant, the grantee shall be:

• an elected member of the Society; or 
• a psychologist or association from a developing country, nominated by an elected member of the Society.

3. An acknowledgement that a report suitable for publication in InPsych will be provided to the Society at the completion of the nominated project. The report should encompass any anticipated future engagement or ongoing relationship with the Society arising from receipt of the grant.
4. Supporting documentation, including at least one reference that addresses:
   • the eligibility and suitability of the applicant and/or nominee to be the recipient of the grant
   • the applicant and/or nominee's ability to carry the project to completion
   • the intercultural and/or international importance of the project, and
   • the relevance of the project for the Society.
