Funding Opportunities for the week of September 18 – September 24, 2020
Last chance to apply! Pandemic-Affected Research Continuation Initiative sponsored by the OVCRGE will support projects impacted by COVID-19 for which expenditures were compelled to continue although certain research activities were stalled and the project now faces a shortage of funds to complete those activities. Support for loss of critical and time-sensitive research supplies and resources due to reduction of on-site research activities will also be considered. Awards may be up to $50,000. Applications are due Monday September 28, 2020 at 4:30PM. Click here to apply.
Sociological Initiatives Foundation Participatory Action Research grant program invites concept papers for projects that link an explicit research design to a concrete social action strategy.

Awards range from $10,000 to $20,000 for projects up to two years in duration. Applications are due October 15, 2020.
