Funding early careers

Russel Sage Foundation Sheldon Danziger Pipeline Grant

The Russel Sage Foundation Sheldon Danziger Pipeline Grant (due in fall) seeks to advance innovative research on economic mobility and access to opportunity in the United States. They are particularly interested in research focused on diagnosing and addressing structural barriers to economic mobility in this country. This initiative seeks to support diversity by prioritizing applications from early-career scholars who are underrepresented in the social sciences and/or employed at under-resourced colleges and universities.

Faculty Early Career Development Program Awards (CAREER)

The NSF CAREER awards (due in summer) are in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization. Activities pursued by early-career faculty should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research. NSF encourages submission by women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and persons with disabilities to apply.
