Higher Education
  • Accreditation. Many international programs have outstanding training and are not seeking accreditation because they do not have the financial resources. The ABAI accreditation system offers a resource visit, where experts go to the program and help develop and complete an application. The fee charged is for costs for the visiting expert and is determined on a case-by-case basis. An International Development Grant could be used by programs to offset these costs.
  • ABAI Culturo-Behavior Science (CBS) verified course sequences or other specialized VCSs. The CBS sequence includes three components: basic principles of behavior analysis, behavioral systems analysis, and experiential learning. Funding could be provided to assist with the development of one or more sequence components.
  • Collaboration. Institutions that compete with one another could be encouraged to collaborate. Grants could be issued for projects between higher education institutions or institutions and other organizations that collaborate and share resources.
Translation
  • Videos. ABAI videos are available to view at no cost to members. Video packages have also been used for university training to complement coursework, including in Mexico. Many institutions and individuals could benefit from the translation of ABAI’s online video presentations to languages other than English. Grants could be issued for translation, allowing dissemination to non-English-speaking communities.
  • Articles. ABAI has five journals and is in the process of acquiring a sixth, which together have 19 issues a year. SABA could grant translation of articles or special issues of the journals. Funding could be considered based on the number of articles to be translated. This would require permission to translate from Springer, which is possible.
  • ABAI books. ABAI is in the process of publishing four books, with plans for a fifth, on the topics of behavior science perspectives on culture and community; acceptance and commitment therapy for behavior analysts; applied behavior science in organizations; scientific methods in behavior analysis; and women behaving: academic careers in behavior analysis. ABAI also has the copyrights to Concepts and Principles in Behavior Analysis. SABA could provide grants to individuals to translate these books.
Expanding Science
  • Travel grants. SABA could grant presenters, especially poster presenters, support to attend ABAI events to present research in areas other than autism and developmental disabilities. Travel grants could encourage presentations in less represented areas.
  • Collaboration. SABA could provide grants for research or projects that incorporate input from, and involve collaboration with, other disciplines, which could be presented at the ABAI annual convention or single track, special topic conferences.
Please provide a brief rationale for the selected project area. (Required; 2,000 character maximum)
