The Dan E. Homeyer Research Grant and LoneStar Award

To qualify for the Dan E. Homeyer Play Therapy Research Award, you must:

Attend or teach at a Texas college or university

Use play therapy in some aspect of your research

Have approval of the Human Subjects Institutional Review Board (IRB)

Additional consideration is given to replication of 'promising' play therapy research.

Once the research is completed:

Write a short synopsis of the research findings which will be published in the TAPT Newsletter (in such form that will not preclude your publishing the findings elsewhere)

Present the findings at the next TAPT Annual Conference (held in April). The Dan E. Homeyer Play Therapy Research Award Fund will pay for two nights at the conference hotel and TAPT will provide a gratis conference registration.

The Lone Star Award is given to local chapters exhibiting outstanding service to membership and to the promotion of play therapy and the credentialing of Registered Play Therapists. The award is given to chapters at the Annual TAPT conference.

Please contact TAPT President at president@txapt.org for more information.
