Funding for Research that Supports Social Change
The Sociological Initiatives Foundation provides grants of $10,000 to
$20,000 to support research that supports social change.
The Foundation supports research that focuses on:
- Linguistic issues (e.g. literacy, language loss and maintenance, language
policy, national security, bilingualism, language and gender, language and
law, language disabilities, language and health, language and education,
different language cultures).
- Social policy objectives
- Institutional and educational practices
- Legislative and regulatory changes
- Development of community capacity and organization of previously
unorganized groups
A Systems Change Emphasis: The Foundation supports projects that address
institutional rather than individual or behavioral change and/or research
and initiatives that provide insight into sociological and linguistic
issues that may be useful to specific groups and or communities.
Linking Research to Community Action: It supports projects that have an
explicit research design and a concrete connection to public or community
impact.
Strengthening Organizations and Advancing the Field: The research should
ideally build an organization or constituency's potential to expand public
knowledge, impact policy, and create social change.
Some examples of desired applicants are:
- Academic-community partnerships.
- Advocacy or community groups that conduct research that can withstand
challenge in academic and policy arenas.
- Academics that organize or link to a constituency through their research.
Complete guidelines and the on-line concept application for the August 15, 2009
deadline are available at:
