Are you interested in supporting student research in the field of complex trauma and dissociation? We hope you look into and consider donating to the David Caul Graduate Research Fund! 

The David Caul Graduate Research Fund is designed to support research that is primarily concerned with dissociation or closely related topics. Graduate students and undergraduate honors students are eligible to apply for grants up to $1500 USD. The application period for this fund is May/June annually, and up to two awards are given annually.

At this time, this fund is one of our funds most in need of donations to ensure that we can continue to support important student research. One time or recurring donations can be made through the ISSTD website.

In addition to direct donations, a raffle is put on annually at the Annual Conference to help raise money for this important fund. This year we will be raffling off a Portland Package, highlighting local businesses, a 2027 Annual Conference Package which includes free registration to next year’s conference, and an all-access education package! Don’t miss out on the opportunity to win big! Tickets are $5.00 each or five tickets for $20.00. Tickets can be purchased in the Society Lounge or from one of our volunteers wearing a green apron.

Thank you to all those who have supported this fund via direct donations or participation in events that support this Fund. We look forward to continuing to provide funding for important student research for years to come!
