Direct Action Crisis Funding is a grant from the American Psychological Foundation (APF) that funds psychological researchers whose federal grants have been abruptly terminated.
Launched in response to recent federal funding cuts to psychological science, APF offers five grants of up to $20,000 each to support activities such as completing a wave of data collection, analyzing already-collected data, thoughtful project closure with community partners, or preparing new grant proposals to continue the research.
Projects must be psychological in nature, have had a recently terminated NSF or NIH grant, and support at least one of APF's Visionary Priorities, including serving marginalized communities or exploring mind-body health connections. Eligible applicants are doctoral graduate students or early career psychologists within 10 years postdoctoral. The deadline was March 23, 2026.

Recent federal funding cuts to the psychological research community are fundamentally anti-scientific. In response, APF has launched the Direct Action Crisis Funding Grants to help offset the abrupt loss of financial support for critical psychological research. Many of the grants that have been terminated had previously undergone rigorous peer review and in many cases, work was already underway prior to their termination.
As a result, psychological researchers are now urgently seeking ways to continue supporting their research by exploring alternative funding sources or collaboration opportunities. We strongly believe that investing in psychological science is essential for a healthier, more informed, and more resilient society.
