Description
1) Objective
The Harry Frank Guggenheim Distinguished Scholar Awards (formerly the Harry Frank Guggenheim Research Grants) recognize leading researchers proposing to make a significant contribution to illuminating an issue of violence. The Foundation welcomes proposals from any of the natural and social sciences and aligned disciplines that promise to increase understanding of the causes, manifestations, and control of violence and aggression. Highest priority is given to research that addresses urgent, present-day problems of violence—what produces it, how it operates, and what prevents or reduces it.
The Foundation is interested in violence related to many subjects, including, but not limited to, the following:
- War
- Crime
- Terrorism
- Family and intimate-partner relationships
- Climate instability and natural resource competition
- Racial, ethnic, and religious conflict
- Political extremism and nationalism
2) Eligibility
Applicants for an award may be citizens of any country. While almost all recipients of these awards possess a Ph.D., M.D., J.D., or equivalent degree, there are no formal degree requirements for the award.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
Most awards fall within the range of $15,000 and $75,000 per year for periods of one or two years.
5) Application
The first component of the process is a Letter of Interest (LOI) questionnaire, which must be completed online and submitted by August 1, at 11:59.00 p.m. ET. Approved applicants will be invited to submit a full application, which is due by September 15, at 11:59.00 p.m. ET. Late submissions will not be reviewed.
