The SIOP Foundation has made significant contributions to the growth and development of the science and practice of I-O psychology.  It provides SIOP members another mechanism for taking part in fostering and active and productive work force.

Since 1996 when the Foundation was established, we have raised $1,556,000 and made awards, scholarships and grants of $161,000, an excellent ratio of income to output.  Specifically:

• Scholarships of $3,000 or more are given to several students to complete their dissertations and start their careers, some in applied settings and some in academia.
• Small grant awards facilitate research by teams of practitioners and academics. 
• Teams of researchers are recognized by the Myers Award for research in an applied setting
• Authors receive the Owens Award for the best journal article in a given year.
• Graduate students are recognized by the Flanagan Award for their contributions to the SIOP Annual Conference program.
• Teams of researchers receive financial support for their research on job analysis through the Sidney Fine Award, and for research on assessment centers and leader development through the Douglas Bray and Ann Howard Award.
• The $10,000 Leslie W. Joyce and Paul W. Thayer doctoral fellowship is given each year to a doctoral student interested in applied work in selection and/or training and development.
• The Raymond A. Katzell Media Award is given each year to a member of the media who has done an outstanding job of reporting on evidenced-based work in I-O psychology.

In addition, the Foundation has supported:

• The Teaching Institute which provides I-O training and materials to faculty from traditionally minority colleges.
• Workshops for high school teachers to familiarize them with I-O psychology and provide classroom materials.
• A lecture series for small colleges lacking I-O faculty.
