Funding Opportunities for the week of June 12-18, 2020
[reposted] WI Humanities Council Major Grants Program funds projects across the state, in communities of all sizes, for participants of all ages and backgrounds. Funded projects include museum exhibits, book discussions, lecture series, guided tours, humanities festivals, oral history projects, teacher institutes, and various other programs. WHC does not fund individual research or the creation of artwork, including workshops focusing on the craft of writing. Projects must involve experts in ways that bring diverse and balanced perspectives. Projects must be designed for a general audience (i.e. not a college or university audience). Major grant awards are up to $10,000 and require a 1:1 match. Applications are due August 15.
Alliant Energy Foundation’s Community Grants are directed to nonprofit programs and projects that benefit customers in Alliant Energy communities in Iowa and Wisconsin. The Foundation funds projects in three focus areas: Helping Families, Education and the Environment. Grants from the Foundation typically range from $500 to $5,000, with an average grant of $2,500. Applications are due September 1, 2020.
Nathan Cummings Foundation Fellowship program provides three individuals with up to $150,000 over 18 months to turn an inspired idea that advances social justice into a reality. The Fellowship is designed for emergent leaders in the U.S. who have limited access to institutional philanthropy and whose work is traditionally underfunded. The topic of a Fellow’s project should generally align with the Foundation’s focus on climate change and inequality. It should aim to transform systems and mindsets that hinder progress towards a more sustainable and equitable future for all people, particularly women and people of color. The Foundation is also interested in innovative approaches that cut across topics. Applications are due September 1, 2020.
National Science Foundation (NSF) Social Psychology program supports research with strong potential for creating transformative advances in the basic understanding of human social behavior. Among the many research topics supported are: social cognition, attitudes, social and cultural influence, stereotypes, motivation, decision making, group dynamics, aggression, close relationships, social and affective neuroscience, social psychophysiology, emotions, prosocial behavior, health-related behavior, and personality and individual differences. Proposals that develop new theories or methods for understanding social behavior are highly encouraged. Research should represent substantial ranges of ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, cultures, and other dimensions of human populations. Next deadlines are July 15, 2020 and January 15, 2021.
[reposted] National Institutes of Health (NIH) offers Career Development opportunities for investigators who strive to expand their research trajectories through the acquisition of new knowledge and skills in the areas of basic psychological processes, sociological processes, and/or biomedical pathways—expertise that is beyond and enhances their current areas of expertise. This award is intended for well-established investigators who have established records of independent, peer-reviewed Federal or private research grant funding. The next due date for both opportunities is March 17, 2021.
- Mid-Career Enhancement Awards to Integrate Basic Behavioral, Biomedical, and/or Social Scientific Processes (K18 No Independent Clinical Trials) (PAR-20-211). This program will support career development experiences and a small-scale research project that will provide experienced investigators with the scientific competencies required to conduct independent research projects that do not involve independent clinical trials.
- Mid-Career Enhancement Awards to Integrate Basic Behavioral, Biomedical, and/or Social Scientific Processes (K18 Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required) (PAR-20-226). This program will support research career development projects that prospectively assign human participants to conditions (i.e., experimentally manipulate independent variables) and that assess biomedical and/or behavioral outcomes in humans to understand fundamental aspects of phenomena.
