Deadline: 9-Nov-22
The Russell Sage Foundation (RSF) has announced applications for its Future of Work to support innovative research on the causes and consequences of changes in the quality of jobs for less- and moderately skilled workers and their families in the U.S.
The Foundation seeks investigator-initiated research proposals that will broaden their understanding of the role of changes in employer practices, the nature of the labor market and public policies on employment, earnings, and job quality. They are especially interested in proposals that address questions about the interplay of market and non-market forces in shaping the wellbeing of workers.
Topics
-
The kinds of topics and questions of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Emerging Technologies and the Future of Work and Workers
- “The Big Shift”? Changes in Labor Force Participation and Increased Turnover During and After the COVID-19 Pandemic
- Labor Market Power and Institutions
- Workforce Development, Training, and the 21st Century American Workplace
- Changes in Employer Practices and Alternative Work Arrangements
- Changing Economies, Changing Families and Policy Responses
Funding Information
- Trustee Grants are generally capped at $200,000. Presidential Grants are capped at $50,000, but PIs may request up to $75,000 when the proposed research project has special needs for gathering data (eg, qualitative research) or gaining access to restricted-use data, or when the proposal budget includes salary support for multiple assistant professor PIs.
Eligibility Criteria
- All applicants (both PIs and Co-PIs) must have a doctorate. In rare circumstances, RSF may consider applications from scholars who do not hold a doctorate but can demonstrate a strong career background that establishes their ability to conduct high-level, peer-reviewed scholarly research. Students may not apply.
- RSF particularly encourages early career scholars to apply for Presidential grants or their Pipeline Competition. All nationalities are eligible to apply and applicants do not have to reside in the US, but the focus of the proposed research project must be on the US as per their mission.
