Deadline: 4-May-22
The Russell Sage Foundation (RSF) is currently inviting applications for the Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration Program to support innovative investigator-initiated research on 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 Foundation is especially interested in research that examines the roles of race, ethnicity, nativity, gender and legal status in outcomes for immigrants, U.S.-born racial and ethnic minorities, and native-born whites.
Areas
The kinds of questions that are of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Increasing Racial and Ethnic Diversity, Attitudes Towards Others and Social Inclusion
- Immigration Policy and Immigrant Integration Policies
- The Role of Legal Status in Immigrant Outcomes
- Ethnic and Racial Socialization and Identity Formation
- Immigration, Racial and Ethnic Diversity, and Integration
- Criminal Justice, Policing, and the Legal System
- Social Movements and Responses to Diversity
- Intergroup Relations
Funding Information
Funding can be used for research assistance, data acquisition, data analysis, and investigator time for conducting research and writing up results. Trustee Grants are generally capped at $175,000, including 15% indirect costs, over a two-year period. Presidential Awards are capped at $35,000 (no indirect costs). PIs may request up to $50,000 (no indirect costs) when the proposed research project has special needs for gathering data (e.g.: qualitative research) or gaining access to restricted-use data.
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 be applicants.
- All nationalities are eligible to apply and applicants do not have to reside in the U.S., but the focus of the proposed research project must be on the U.S. as per the mission.
