The Experimental Psychology Society supports researchers and trainees in experimental psychology through modest, targeted awards that reduce practical barriers to doing and presenting research. Its grants are especially geared toward conference travel, small empirical projects, undergraduate and graduate research training, and skill-building visits between labs, with a clear emphasis on accessibility and early-career development. The society also funds inclusion-related costs such as childcare or dependent care so members can attend meetings and workshops.
Small, competitive grants and bursaries, typically up to £250-£3,750, awarded in annual or rolling rounds depending on the scheme. Most funding is application-based and institution-administered, with advance planning required for meeting-related support; some programs are limited to one application per 12 months or per calendar year.

Check the specific scheme deadline and apply well in advance of the meeting or visit; several awards are only available in rounds and cannot be retroactively claimed except in limited cases. Make sure eligibility fits the program closely: many awards are for EPS ordinary or postgraduate members, UK-linked institutions, or specific early-career stages, while the Kuppuraj Bishop Study Visit Grants have a fixed annual deadline of 1 December.
