Psychological Science Accelerator Calls for Rapid and Impactful Study Proposals on COVID-19

The Psychological Science Accelerator (PSA) is the largest consortium of research psychologists in the world. Behavioral scientists can play an important role in combating the growing COVID-19 pandemic if we quickly take action to collect high-quality data from large, global samples. The PSA wants to team up with researchers working on important questions related to this pandemic. 

Scope of study proposals

• Proposals are for studies that can be conducted online.
• Studies should be relatively easy to conduct: applied, not basic, research.
• Research proposals from multi-disciplinary teams (e.g., health researchers, psychologists, and data scientists) will be prioritized.
• Proposals should not exceed 1 page: including the basic research question, relevant literature, identify whether the research is exploratory or confirmatory, and how the research will contribute to reducing the effects of the current crisis.
