ACES Graduate Student Research Award
Call for Proposals
Online Submission
Fall 2021

Purpose:  The purpose for this call for proposals is to fund research studies led by graduate students. We are excited to announce that our funding has increased from $5000 to $15,000. Grants for either $500 or $1,000 are awarded to those who meet the criteria below and whose research is on the topic of Counselor Education or Supervision, specifically focusing on areas of advocacy, social justice, diversity and inclusion and anti-racist counseling practices in counselor education and clinical practice. Other topics will not be considered.

Who May Apply: The competition is open to ACES student members. Student researchers, who are in dissertation are especially encouraged to apply. Individuals may submit (or be part of a submission team) for only one proposal. Multiple submissions by any researcher (individually or as part of multiple research teams) will not be accepted.

Award Tax Responsibility:   If selected, awardees can choose one of two methods to receive funds. First, they can receive a check written directly to them personally and will be required by federal law to pay taxes on the amount. This method will require awardees to complete a W-9 form in order to receive the award. Second, they can have the award sent to their institution and dispersed by the institution, thus avoiding personal income taxes on the award. Awardees should explore with their Grants office whether or not the college or university would charge indirect costs against the award if they were to administer it. Indirect costs are not allowed as part of the grant budget.
