The Foundation for the Scientific Study of Sexuality invites applications for its grants-in-aid program. This supports scientific sexuality research areas that are not likely to receive support from other sources. Funds may be used for either a small project that can be completed with the help of the grant or as part of a larger study that might ultimately be funded from other sources.

    • actual, not pilot projects

Eligibility
