Opportunities
Source Research Foundation Student Grant Program
Source Research Foundation offers a Psychedelic Student Researchers Award, which provides dedicated research funds to support students who conduct studies related to psychedelics.
Awards must be used for direct costs of research being conducted as part of an academic degree program at an institution of higher learning. Applicants from the United States and international locations are welcome to apply. We define “student” broadly, and could include postdoctoral fellows, residents, or interns, as long as they meet all other requirements (e.g., IRB oversight, faculty mentor, etc.).
Usona Scholarship Program
From the website: "Usona Institute provides scholarships to qualified post-graduate students and licensed practitioners engaged in study or professional training within the field of psychedelic sciences." See here for details
Psychedelic Support Course Scholarship
Psychedelic Support offers accredited online courses on the safety, research, and clinical applications of MDMA and psilocybin. From their website: "We are proud to offer a six-month scholarship for students and practitioners to take our courses as a means of enhancing diversity in the field of psychedelic medicine. Continuing education credits (CE/CME) are available for health professionals."
