Background
The foundation welcomes proposals from any of the natural and social sciences and the humanities that promise to increase understanding of the causes, manifestations, and control of violence and aggression. Highest priority is given to research that can increase understanding and amelioration of urgent problems of violence and aggression in the modern world.
Opportunity
Most awards fall within the range of $15,000 to $40,000 per year for periods of one or two years. Applications for larger amounts and longer durations must be very strongly justified. The foundation awards research grants to individuals (or a few principal investigators at most) for individual projects and does not award grants to institutions for institutional programs. Individuals who receive research grants may be subject to taxation on the funds awarded. Applications are submitted online.
Eligibility
Applicants for a research grant may be citizens of any country. While almost all recipients of our research grant possess a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree, there are no formal degree requirements for the grant. The grant, however, may not be used to support research undertaken as part of the requirements for a graduate degree. Applicants need not be affiliated with an institution of higher learning, although most are college or university professors.
Funding Available
- Maximum amount and project duration: Most awards fall within the range of $15,000 to $40,000 per year for periods of one or two years.
- New applications must be submitted by August 1, for a decision in December. Final decisions are made by the Board of Directors at its meeting in December. Applicants will be informed promptly by email as well as letter of the Board’s decision. Grants ordinarily commence on January 1 but later starting dates may be requested if the nature of the research makes this appropriate.
- The foundation does not supply funds for overhead costs of institutions. Please contact your Research Facilitator for assistance in budget building, and Carleton’s Indirect Cost Policy for more information.
