Does Dr. Ekman donate materials for research projects?

Per Dr. Paul Ekman’s request, select photograph sets are provided free of charge for approved research projects. The criteria for approval are related to the topic of the research project and its relevance to our field.

For approved research, donated photograph sets will carry a one-time administrative fee for processing. Administrative fees are as follows: $75 fee for photograph sets priced $199, $100 fee for photograph sets priced $299. The “Pictures of Facial Affect” photo set cannot be donated.
