Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Awards in Health Policy Research
The Investigator Awards in Health Policy Research program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation supports highly qualified individuals to undertake broad studies of Americas most challenging policy issues in health and health care. Grants of up to $335,000 are awarded to investigators from a variety of disciplines for innovative research projects that have national policy relevance.
Association for the Study of Higher Education Lumina Fellows Program
The key objective of the Lumina Fellows Program is to promote innovative scholarship by creating an intergenerational community of scholars who will examine social, institutional and policy barriers to opportunity and student success. Its goal is the development of new research questions, methodologies and frameworks for the study of access and success that go beyond what is already known about critical topics related to, for example, college choice, financial aid and student retention. The grant will fund eight to 10 dissertation fellowships a year for a three-year period.
International Research & Exchanges Board Policy-Connect Collaborative Research Grants
The Policy-Connect Program provides fellowships to U.S. scholars and professionals for overseas research on contemporary political, economic, historical or cultural developments relevant to U.S. foreign policy. Fellowships support collaborative teams of two or three U.S. scholars and professionals for up to 12 months. Upon completion of the project, scholars will be requested to present their research findings at a Policy Forum at the U.S. Department of State and to write a short policy paper.
Gleitsman Foundation 2008 Citizen Activist Award
The Gleitsman Foundation encourages individual commitment and leadership by recognizing the exceptional achievement of those who have initiated positive social change. The 2008 Citizen Activist Award will honor those who have struggled to correct social injustice in the United States (international activists are the focus of the award in alternate years).
