Description
The
Russell Sage Foundation (RSF) has long supported social science research with
the aim of improving social and living conditions in the United States.
In response to the crises of 2020, the foundation is dedicating its next
funding cycle exclusively to research that seeks to improve our understanding
of these extraordinary times. For its November 11, 2020 deadline, RSF will
return to accepting letters of inquiry under the following core programs and
special initiatives: Future of Work; Immigration and Immigrant Integration;
Race, Ethnicity and Immigration; Social, Political and Economic Inequality. RSF
will continue to accept letters of inquiry relevant to any of RSF’s core
programs that addresses research focused on systemic racial inequality and/or
the recent mass protests in the U.S. Specifically, research that investigates
the prevalence of racial disparities in policing and criminal justice and their
social, political, economic, and psychological causes and consequences; the
effects of the current social protest movement and mass mobilization against
systemic discrimination; the nature of public attitudes and public policies
regarding policing, criminal justice, and social welfare; and the effects of
those attitudes in the current political environment.
All
LOIs should include sufficient information about the proposed data and research
design in order to be considered for support. Successful proposals from this
round can have a start date on or after July 1, 2021. If you are unsure about
the foundation's expectations in this regard, we strongly recommend that
investigators review the grant writing guidelines on our website, where you can
also view an instructional webinar. Those applying for funding from RSF should
also consider participating in our next scheduled grant writing webinar led by
our program staff.
Note:
Applicants can either apply to the Pipeline Grants (11/4 deadline) or our
regular research grants (11/11 deadline), but not both.
