During our banner 65th<\/sup> anniversary in 2016, PF\u2019s Board of Trustees, following concentrated deliberation, has worked to reassess and revamp our Grant and Scholarship program that was, regretfully, suspended during a period of severe financial hardship. It goes without saying that we are enormously proud of our years of support of students and researchers the world over. We have provided a modicum of financial support that has assisted many to pursue highly productive careers with valued contributions to the science of parapsychology.<\/p>\n

With our deliberations not totally complete I do, however, want to announce the parameters of our returning grant and scholarship program as conceptualized now but to be phased in over time. As PF remains regretfully unfunded by outside sources we must judiciously count our pennies with an eye to where our rapidly dwindling resources be best utilized. We are continuously soliciting donations while working to create an income stream to support the totality of PF\u2019s programs through the sale of publications and PF merchandise, the monetization of our YouTube channel, our fee-based forums and conferences, and the renewal of the PF Perspectives Lectures series both on-site and online. Such funds, we hope, will continue to support the maintenance of the Eileen J. Garrett Research Library and our international conferences as well as the work that goes into the building out of our new websites and the preparation of old and new content and courses.<\/p>\n

Our scholarship and grants programs are so important to us and the field. We at the PF are understandably enormously proud of our \u00a0\u201cfamily\u201d of PF grantees and award winners. Without them the growth of our field is compromised. It is important to note that PF seeks to support our colleagues in the US and around the world so we would invite all our friends to keep us in mind for donations. One way to give is through estate planning, so we ask please, therefore, that you consider PF within your estate planning, in the knowledge that if you are a US citizen your donations are fully tax deductible because the PF is a 501 c3 tax exempt organization. As our support from donors, small and large, grows, we will, as always, seek to maximize our support so to enlarge our programs. Below are some of the grants and scholarships we are able to offer again.<\/p>\n

FRANCES P. BOLTON FELLOWSHIP<\/strong><\/p>\n

The annual Frances P. Bolton Fellowship in the amount of $2000 will be awarded to a person who obtained their Ph.D. on the basis of a dissertation\/thesis which dealt with some aspect of parapsychological phenomena and whose intent is to use the Bolton Fellowship to further write up and polish the data amassed during the preparation of their doctoral work. The Ph.D. does not necessarily have to be solely within parapsychology but must demonstrate that parapsychology is a large component of the work. Applications will be taken until November 1st, 2017 with the \u00a0Fellowship awarded January 1st, 2018. A copy of the dissertation must be submitted along with three references and a description of how the Fellowship will be utilized.<\/p>\n

SCOTT ROGO AWARD FOR PARAPSYCHOLOGICAL MEDIA<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Rogo award in the amount of $500 has been recast to include not only literature but also other media such as documentary film, television programming, podcasts and vlogs etc. The award will be granted as warranted so applications are accepted year round. A synopsis or treatment to be submitted along with representative media samples as well as the applicant\u2019s CV and any relevant materials and references. Upon completion, a copy of the book or film or other media will be donated to the Eileen J. Garrett Library.<\/p>\n

JUDITH A.\u00a0 AND CHARLES T. TART STUDENT SCHOLARLY INCENTIVE AWARD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks once again to the generosity of Dr. and Mrs. Tart this annual award of $500 returns. This award is for a student who demonstrates a strong commitment to work within parapsychology. Esteemed parapsychologist, Dr. Charles T. Tart, in memorializing his first grant in parapsychology\u00a0 given to him by PF\u2019s founder, Mrs. Eileen J. Garrett\u00a0 while a student at MIT, wishes to provide similar encouragement to a new student in providing funding for a first experiment. Applications will be taken until\u00a0 September 1st, 2017 and awarded October 1st, 2007.<\/p>\n

EILEEN COLY RESEARCH GRANTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

PF\u2019s long standing grant program has been renamed in honor of PF\u2019s second President, Mrs. Eileen Coly, who took great pride in administering our prolific grant program during her administration. A preliminary letter of request for application can be submitted at any time providing a brief explanation of the research anticipated, along with the investigators CVs. Should the PF be interested in considering such a research grant, an application form will be sent to the inquirer and a grant in the amount of $1000 will be awarded if the PF chooses to do so.<\/p>\n

Future Funding Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Future augmentation of our Grants and Awards program remain under consideration with details to be announced upon availability. Please be aware that reports suitable for publication by PF must be provided at the conclusion of all\u00a0 projects with all attendant proof of expenditure submitted. It is expected that at all times proper accreditation and acknowledgement of PF support be applied. Applications for all currently available and future funding should be directed to president@parapsychology.org<\/a><\/p>\n

As intimated in my introduction, with donations PF can \u201cspread the wealth\u201d accordingly. Our Board and I are excited to open a new chapter and welcome new additions to the roster below of \u201c PF \u00a0family\u201d award winners.<\/p>\n
