The Gorilla Experiment Builder is offering grants to MSc and PhD students and early career researchers (PhD+5 years adjusted for parental leave) wanting to run an online study.
This is an opportunity to receive a grant to address your own research question (individually or as a group) at the start of your career and to be at the forefront of a new methodology in psychology.
Every complete application (judged by our reviewers) will either be granted tokens or get a 50% off voucher. So you are guarenteed to win something!
~Don't fit the profile or don't have a current project idea? We still want you! Register your interest as a reviewer and we will contact you if submissions fit your expertise.~

Prizes!
We will give away up to 10,000 tokens worth £7,500 in total. We know that every study is different, so we have decided to make Gorilla Grants flexible this year.
When you submit your application form, explain your power calculation to us and tell us how many tokens you require (100, 250, or 500) to successfully do your research.
We know that applying takes time, so every person that submits a complete application but doesn't win tokens will instead get a 50% off voucher for up to 250 tokens.
