Study Visit Grants in Experimental Psychology Society

Experimental Psychology Society

This scheme aims to help finance postgraduate and postdoctoral research in experimental psychology (as defined by the content of The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology).

Awards will pay for travel to and accommodation at another institution outside an individual’s academic base. The purpose of the visit is to develop the applicant’s research skills, and may involve learning at first hand about experimental procedures employed in the host laboratory, or designing and running studies that cannot already be carried out in the applicant’s home department. Awards will not be granted for work which forms an integral part of an existing PhD research project, nor for work which would normally be funded by other bodies (e.g. the applicant’s award-granting body or home institution).

Applicants who are funded by a Research Council, departmental or other studentship, or a research grant, are expected to seek funding towards the visit from these sources before applying to EPS, or to explain why they are not able to do so.

Grants will be for a maximum of £3,500 to any individual. The Society will, on receipt of an invoice at the end of the period of the bursary, reimburse the applicants home institution for the award. In addition, the Society will, on receipt of appropriate invoices, reimburse the institution visited by the student for actual costs incurred as a consequence of the visit up to a maximum of £100.

The EPS will reimburse:

The cost of travel to and from your residence / home institution (for the duration of the visit) by the cheapest reasonable means. It is expected that in considering travel costs, applicants will use standard class public transport, including standard flight costs, standard class rail travel or fuel costs for transport within the UK. Travelling by car within the UK can be approved if you provide additional evidence that the cost is no greater than public transport. Mileage can be reimbursed based on a rate of 45p per mile, with the total reimbursed based upon fuel receipts provided in the expense form. The EPS will not reimburse first, business or premium economy class tickets. Reimbursement for taxi travel (including Uber) will only be considered in exceptional circumstances (e.g. for accessibility or safety reasons), this should be approved in advance when possible. A justification for all taxi travel should be provided with the final invoice.

Essential visa costs will be supported up to £150.

Accommodation for the duration of the visit only.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

The Experimental Psychology Society (EPS) was founded in 1946, building on the momentum of a first meeting convened by Oliver Zangwill at St. John’s College, Cambridge Its mission: to foster scientific communication and research in experimental psychology, connecting experimentalists across the UK, mainland Europe, and beyond .

EPS hosts regular scientific meetings, publishes the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology (QJEP), sponsors workshops, and supports research through a diverse range of funding schemes and prizes

Historical Highlights & Legacy

Foundational Beginnings:

The inaugural gathering of what was initially the Experimental Psychology Group (EPG) occurred in October 1946, with presentations like "The Transposition of Visual Patterns" and early work in neuropsychology and vigilance studies .

The Society's name and structure emerged from informal yet purposeful debates among early experimental psychologists, emphasizing “Experimental” over “Scientific” and “Society” over “Group”

Role in Neuropsychology & Cognitive Processing:

EPS played a central part in advancing neuropsychology and the field of information processing, with key early papers and symposia pushing the frontiers of attention, perception, and learning
