-- DEADLINE NOTE: The sponsor recommends submitting a letter of inquiry before submitting a full proposal. Project awards are given out twice a year; the deadline for the Fall cycle is August 15, 2008 and the deadline for the Spring cycle is March 15, 2009.

-- OBJECTIVES: The sponsor's awards are restricted to support for basic social science research within its announced programs.

-- FUNDING: Major awards range between $50,000 and $500,000. The sponsor mainly provides support for analyzing data and writing up results, but occasionally considers larger awards for data acquisition projects highly relevant to its program goals. In no case can more than $10,000 be allocated to equipment. The sponsor will pay for travel to conduct the proposed research and provide limited support for travel to scholarly conferences for the presentation of research findings. The sponsor will consider requests for summer salary for time devoted specifically to research on the proposed project, but it sharply restricts the amounts allocated for release time during the academic year. The sponsor allows overhead for indirect costs of up to fifteen percent only on awards above $35,000.
