Grants & Research Committee

(Committee overview captured from the 2021 ASPE Annual Conference, A Virtual Experience)

The Grants & Research (G&R) Committee works to advance scholarship in SP-based education.  The committee supports members in acquiring knowledge and experience in order to contribute to the field through research, dissemination of research, and education.

The committee’s Scholars Certificate Program provides members opportunities to develop foundational knowledge of SP-focused scholarship through the completion of a six-workshop series. 

The ASPE Research/Project Award promotes scholarship by providing funds for unique research or development projects in SP methodology. 

Mission Statement:

Working to advance scholarship in SP education and supporting members in acquiring the knowledge and skills to contribute to the field.
