Primals Research Student Awards

Deadline: 05/27/2022

The Primals Project at the University of Pennsylvania Positive Psychology Center, with support from the Templeton Religion Trust, is pleased to announce the Primals Research Student Awards for PhD students and post-doctoral trainees only. Our main goal is to promote new empirical research exploring how primals are formed, maintained, change, or influence nontrivial outcomes or psychological processes. Our second goal is to encourage student 1st author publications in top-tier peer-viewed journals. We seek research that is interesting, catalytic, methodologically rigorous, economical, and publication-oriented.

Proposals are welcome from any psychology subdiscipline (clinical, personality, etc.) and any other discipline (philosophy, history, etc.) as long as research is empirical and the focus is one or more primals.
