The program supports small grants for studies focusing on the effects of food assistance programs on food security, income security, and other indicators of well-being among low-income individuals and families. The intent of this competition is to stimulate new areas of interest in research on poverty and food assistance programs, such as Food Stamps, school lunch and breakfast programs, the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), and the Child and Adult Care Food Program. The grants program is cosponsored by the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). http://www.ssc.wisc.edu/irp/smgrants/guidelines.htm Israel Binational Science Foundation (BSF) - Start-Up Grant Program. The objective of the Start-Up Grant Program is to provide seed money to young independent scientists to develop new research and projects that demonstrate the merits of their research ideas. These grants are intended to support the first investigative efforts of an individual, i.e., to provide a reasonable opportunity to demonstrate originality, productivity, innovation, and further promise; to facilitate a feasibility study; and to help the transition to traditional types of United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation (BSF) grants. http://www.bsf.org.il/startup/ Johnson (Robert Wood) Foundation - Changes in Health Care Financing and Organization (HCFO). The Changes in Health Care Financing and Organization (HCFO) initiative, a core program of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, strives to bridge the health policy and health services research communities by reaching two primary objectives: to provide public and private decision-makers with usable and timely information on health care policy, financing, and market developments, and to bring together the policy and research communities through significant convening, issues identification, research translation, and communication activities. HCFO supports investigator-initiated research and policy analysis, evaluation, and demonstration projects examining major changes in health care financing, and their effects on cost, access, or quality. http://www.hcfo.net/application.htm McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience - Technological Innovations in Neuroscience Awards. The McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience Technological Innovations in Neuroscience Awards provide seed funding for highly innovative projects to stimulate the development of novel and creative approaches to understanding brain function. The program seeks to advance and enlarge the range of technologies available to the neurosciences. http://www.mcknight.org/neuroscience/technology/index.asp National Science Foundation (NSF) - Division of Social and Economic Sciences (SES). Small Grants for Training and Research are available from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including history of science, history of technology, philosophy of science, and various social sciences, including sociology, anthropology, and political science. The Science and Technology Studies (STS) program supports research and related activities that contribute to systematic understanding of the character and development of science and technology, including their cultural, intellectual, material, and social dimensions. http://www.nsf.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?ods_key=nsf04531 National Science Foundation (NSF) - Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER). Proposals for small-scale, exploratory, and high-risk research in the fields of science, engineering, and education normally supported by NSF may be submitted to individual programs. Such research is characterized as preliminary work on untested and novel ideas; ventures into emerging research ideas; the application of new expertise or new approaches to "established" research topics; having extreme urgency with regard to availability of or access to data, facilities, or specialized equipment, including quick-response research on natural disasters and similar unanticipated events; and efforts of similar character likely to catalyze rapid and innovative advances. NSF strongly encourages investigators to contact the NSF program officer(s) most germane to the proposal topic before submitting an SGER proposal. http://www.nsf.gov/od/lpa/news/publicat/nsf0203/cross/ocpa.html Northwestern University/University of Chicago Joint Center for Poverty Research - Food Assistance Research. The Northwestern University and University of Chicago Joint Center for Poverty Research (JCPR) supports academic research that examines what it means to be poor and live in America. JCPR concentrates on the causes and consequences of poverty in America and the effectiveness of policies aimed at reducing poverty. The goal is to advance what is known about the economic, social, and behavioral factors that cause poverty, and to establish the actual effects of interventions designed to alleviate poverty. This program is designed to fund start-up projects with the potential to make a significant contribution to food assistance research. http://www.jcpr.org/usdarfp.html Radcliffe College - Adolescent and Youth Research Award. Radcliffe College announces a program of small grants to support postdoctoral research using data sets containing samples with youth or adolescents archived at the center. The grant is especially interested in research focusing on "youth as a resource," or positive attributes and strengths of youth. http://www.radcliffe.edu/murray/grants/rrsp_youth.htm Sage (Russell) Foundation - Small Grants Program in Behavioral Economics. The Russell Sage Behavioral Economics Roundtable supports a small grants research program to support high-quality research in behavioral economics and to encourage young investigators to enter this developing field. There are no limitations on the disciplinary background of the principal investigator, and the proposed research may address any economic topic. Interdisciplinary efforts are welcome. Behavioral approaches will be construed broadly to include any research that explores the economic implications of the principles underlying observable human behavior. http://www.russellsage.org/programs/proj_reviews/small-grants-app.shtml Spencer Foundation - Small Research Grants. The foundation's Small Research Grants Program offers a unique opportunity for scholars and practitioners in a broad range of institutions who are interested in educational research to obtain support for their work. The program is appropriate for modest-sized research projects, exploratory studies, specific phases of larger investigations, and projects that arise in response to unusual opportunities. http://www.spencer.org/programs/grants/small_grants.htm Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, Inc. - Post-Ph.D. Grants. Grants are available for basic research in all branches of anthropology. Grants are made to seed innovative approaches and ideas, to cover specific expenses or phases of a project, or to encourage aid from other funding agencies. The foundation particularly invites projects employing comparative perspectives or integrating two or more subfields of anthropology. http://www.wennergren.org/programsirg.html
