Who We Are
Helping Give Away Psychological Science (HGAPS pronounced as two syllables: "H-Gaps") is an educational service-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) dedicated to helping the best free information about psychological science reach the people who would benefit. We build small groups to improve the open science of psychology on Wiki platforms, Open Science Framework, social media, other online sites, and the community. We aim to make our resources reach the level of the best college textbook on the topic and help the general public, mental health professionals, clients, and academics each find high-quality resources quickly. We have chapters at multiple universities across the country and collaborators around the world.

OUR STORY
In 2016, HGAPS was founded by Dr. Mian-Li Ong and Dr. Eric Youngstrom at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It began as a student organization focused on enhancing evidence-based assessment content on the internet. In 2017, HGAPS was incorporated and ruled as a 501(c)(3) national service organization in March 2018. Since then, many HGAPS chapters have started across the country, and HGAPS has collaborated with organizations and people worldwide.
