Funding Value and Duration
Assistant professors (tenure and non-tenure track) are eligible to apply for grants of up to $30K USD.
Overview
The competition seeks to promote diversity in the social sciences broadly, including racial, ethnic, gender, disciplinary, institutional, and geographic diversity. Early-career faculty who have not previously received support from RSF in the form of a Trustee or Presidential research grant or a visiting fellowship from RSF are eligible to apply.
Eligibility Criteria
Early-career scholars (anyone who is currently an Assistant Professor or Adjunct Assistant Professors and Lecturers who received the Ph.D. after January 1, 2013) who have not received an RSF research grant previously are eligible to apply. Applicants must meet these requirements as of the submission deadline. There are no limitations on the disciplinary background of the researcher. The Foundation encourages applications from scholars who are traditionally underrepresented in the scientific disciplines and RSF’s application pool. Applicants can apply for either the Pipeline Grants Competition or the November 9, deadline for letters of inquiry (LOIs) for presidential and trustee grants, but not both. RSF will pair grantees with mentors working in the same field and provide an honorarium for the mentors.
In line with the foundation’s mission, all projects must focus on the United States. In some exceptional cases, RSF may consider data collected outside the U.S. (e.g., experimental data, survey data, etc.) if the researcher can demonstrate that the data needed for the project is not available in the U.S., and that the data has direct and strong relevance to understanding social and living conditions in the U.S.
