Applications are invited from suitably qualified applicants for the HFG Distinguished Scholar Awards for the 2023/24 cohort. The Harry Frank Guggenheim (HFG) foundation welcomes proposals from any of the natural and social sciences that addresses urgent, present-day problems of violence.
The Foundation supports research that investigates the basic mechanisms in the production of violence, but primacy is given to proposals that make a compelling case for the relevance of potential findings for policies intended to reduce the ills.
The Distinguished Scholar Awards | DETAILS
Most awards fall within the range of $15,000 to $45,000 per year for periods of one or two years. Applications for larger amounts and longer duration will be considered but must be strongly justified. The awards are made to individuals (or sometimes two or, rarely, three principal investigators) for specific projects, not general research support. They are not awarded to institutions for institutional programs. Individuals who receive research grants may be subject to taxation on the funds awarded.
