Subject: ACES Call for Research Grant Proposals



ACES Research Grant Award Committee

Call for Proposals

2010-2011

** Grants will be awarded at the 2010 Regional ACES Conferences** 

Purpose:  The purpose for this call for proposals is to fund studies that
increase understanding of professional development in Counselor Education
and Supervision. 

Amount of Funding: The ACES Executive Council has allocated $10,000 to the
Research Grants Committee to support deserving ACES research. The maximum
grant given will not exceed $2000; individual grants typically will be in
the $750 to $1500 range, depending on research quality and documented need. 

Who May Apply: The competition is open to both professional and student
members of ACES. Because of their need and because of the limited funding
available for student research, student researchers 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.  

Proposal Format: Proposals must adhere to the following:

    * Typed in 12 point font, double spaced, with one-inch margins.
    * The Proposal document may be a maximum of four pages.

            -References may be added in addition to the 4 page limit.

            - Attachments submitted as part of the proposal beyond the 4
page limit will not be reviewed by the committee.

            -The Application Form, sent as a separate document, is not part
of this page count. 

    * Submitted documents must be in EITHER Microsoft Word or Rich Text
Format.  NO OTHER WORD PROCESSING FORMAT WILL BE ACCEPTED.
    * Submit one "blind" copy of the proposal*, and;
    * One copy of the proposal with author identification, AND;
    * The Application Form as three separate attachments to the Committee
Chair John Laux at John.laux at utoledo.edu 
on or before July 17, 2010.

 

Recommended Proposal Outline:

      Rationale

      Methodology

      Ethical considerations

      Budget

      Plan for Dissemination

      References

 

      Application Evaluation

Evaluation Criteria:  Research proposals will be evaluated by a panel of
reviewers using the following criteria:

   1.    Qualifications of the Researcher:

    * The researcher is a regular or student member of ACES, and the
researcher has submitted only one proposal for funding in this year=s grant
program.

b.  Quality of the Proposed Research:

    * Proposed topic is within the scope of Counselor Education and
Supervision (20 points possible)
    * Relevance of research to Counselor Education & Supervision as
evidenced by the literature review (25 pts. possible)
    * Research Methodology (i.e. the methodology proposed follows accepted
practice for research of that kind) (25 pts possible)
    * Applicable ethical standards for research with human subjects (15 pts.
possible)

c.  Financial Need:

    * Clear, itemized, and research-focused budget (10 pts. possible):  The
budget for the research project seems sound given the nature and scope of
the proposed project (only the expenses budgeted for the actual conducting
of the study will be considered; travel or presentation expenses will not be
considered), and the project is not substantially supported by any other
funding source (budget statements must include a statement of other funds
being used to support the project).
    * Funds may not be used for time compensation, including GA work, unless
you provide the "employee" with a 1099 Form submitted to the IRS, so that
they are taxed appropriately. The budget may include payment for time if the
recipient (e.g., transcription company, statistical consultant) accounts for
the self-employment or business income and provides a receipt. Receipts must
be maintained by the Primary Researcher and made available should ACES
request the records.

      d. Plan for Dissemination:  A clear, feasible, and appropriate plan
for dissemination of research findings (5 pts. possible).  As a condition of
the acceptance of the grant award, the researcher is required to complete
one of the following by October 30th of the year subsequent to receiving
your award:

    * Provide a copy of the proposal to present the research results as a
poster session at the ACA World Conference or ACES National Conference;
    * Provide a copy of the proposal to present the research results as an
education session at the ACA World Conference or ACES National Conference;
    * Provide to the Research Grant Committee Chair a copy of the manuscript

presentations, or publications related to the supported project.
