The AAPB Foundation was formed in 1985 at the urging of then AAPB president, Neal Miller. He felt that the organization had a mission to continue to support research and clinical applications in our ever-broadening field. A key way to do that is to encourage the interest and application of work by students which will lead to further demonstration of the efficacy of Biofeedback techniques. Presently, the Foundation annually supports travel scholarships to students whose papers have been accepted for presentation at the annual meeting. Individuals interested in supporting the work of the AAPB Foundation should contact David Stumph [email protected] or call AAPB at 303-422-8436.
