Facebook Research
Amount: Up to $150,000
Deadline: May 6, 2020
Facebook is offering awards to researchers interested in exploring the societal issues
of misinformation and polarization related to social communication technologies. The
goal for these awards is to support the growth of the scientific community in these
spaces and to contribute to a shared understanding across the broader industry on
how social technology companies can better address social issues on their platforms.
Proposals are encouraged with the following two emphases:
- Studies that draw on traditional social science methods like interviews, surveys, ethnographic observation, content analyses, and survey/behavioral experiments, or innovative mixed methodological approaches that combine these methods.
- Comparative research and inclusion of non-Western regions that have experienced a
growth in social media platform use, including South and Central America, Sub-Saharan
and North Africa, the Middle East, and Central, South, and Southeast Asia. Facebook
encourages proposals from researchers, or collaborations with researchers, based in
the country/countries being researched.
William T. Grant Foundation — Reducing Inequality Research Grants
Deadline: May 6, 2020
Amount: Up to $600,000
The William T. Grant Foundation is inviting applications for its Research Grants on
Reducing Inequality program. The program supports high-quality field-initiated studies
from a range of disciplines and methodologies that are relevant to policies and practices
that affect the lives of young people between the ages of 5 and 25 in the United States.
Through the program, grants of up to $600,000 over a period of up to three years will
be awarded in support of major research designed to build, test, or increase understanding
of programs, policies, or practices with the potential to reduce inequality in the
academic, social, behavioral, or economic outcomes of young people. Descriptive studies
that clarify mechanisms for reducing inequality or elucidate how or why a specific
program, policy, or practice operates to reduce inequality are welcomed.
The foundation prioritizes studies about reducing inequality on the basis of race,
ethnicity, economic standing, language, minority status, or immigrant origin. It also
welcomes studies from a range of disciplines, fields, and methodologies and encourages
investigations into various systems, including justice, housing, child welfare, mental
health, and education. Competitive proposals often incorporate data from multiple
sources and often involve multidisciplinary teams. In addition to financial support,
grantees receive significant time and capacity-building resources from the foundation.
Projects led by African American, Latinx, Native American, and Asian Pacific American
researchers are encouraged.
Russell Sage Foundation — Social Science Research Grants
Deadline: May 21, 2020
Amount: Up to $175,000
The Russell Sage Foundation invites letters of inquiry for four of their core program areas:
- The program on Behavioral Economics supports research that uses insights and methods from psychology, economics, sociology,
political science and other social sciences to examine and improve social and living
conditions in the United States
- The Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration program is concerned with the social, economic, and political effects of the changing
racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. population, including the transformation
of communities and ideas about what it means to be American.
- The program in Social, Political, and Economic Inequality focuses on whether rising economic inequality has affected social, political, and
economic institutions in the U.S., and the extent to which increased inequality has
affected equality of opportunity, social mobility, and the intergenerational transmission
of advantage
- In partnership with the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Initiative on Immigration and Immigrant Integration seeks to support innovative research on the effects of race, citizenship, legal status
and politics, political culture, and public policy on outcomes for immigrants and
for the native-born of different racial and ethnic groups and generations.
