Full details live on the official award page:

Any SPSP member—or non-member—is eligible to apply for the International Bridge-Building Award. (A one-year membership will be granted for one organizer per award.)
We especially encourage proposals that broaden collaboration and engagement with regions that have historically had fewer prior connections with SPSP and mainstream personality and social psychology (e.g., including most countries in Asia; the Pacific Islands; Oceania; Southern and Eastern Europe; Africa and the Middle East; and Central America, South America, and the Caribbean). This may include projects that establish partnerships, exchanges, or communication networks with scholars based in those regions, or initiatives that expand SPSP’s capacity to engage with research conducted in other cultural contexts.

Applicant's current CV
A 1,000-word proposal outlining the program/event (including a brief budget plan for the use of the $1,500 award budget with timeline and activity description; same for the additional $1,000 travel budget if applicable), describing how it would contribute to the internationalization of SPSP and promote communication, exchanges, and partnerships with scholars from countries currently underrepresented in SPSP and in mainstream personality and social psychology.
