Applications for the HFG Distinguished Scholar Awards for the 2023/24 cohort are now being accepted. The Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation (HFG) encourages submissions from any of the scientific and social disciplines that address pressing contemporary issues of violence.
The Foundation promotes research into the fundamental causes that lead to violence, although priority is given to proposals that make a persuasive case for the applicability of prospective results for policies aimed at mitigating the problems.
The HFG Distinguished Scholar Awards
Most awards fall within the range of $15,000 to $45,000 per year for periods of one or two years. Applications for larger amounts and longer duration will be considered but must be strongly justified. The awards are made to individuals (or sometimes two or, rarely, three principal investigators) for specific projects, not general research support. They are not awarded to institutions for institutional programs. Individuals who receive research grants may be subject to taxation on the funds awarded.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for the HFG Distinguished Scholar Award, interested applicants must meet the following requirements:
- Applicants for the award may be citizens of any country.
- While almost all recipients of these awards possess a Ph.D., M.D., J.D., or equivalent degree, there are no formal degree requirements for the award.
- Award may not be used to support research undertaken as part of the requirements for a graduate degree.
- Applicants need not be affiliated with an institution of higher learning, although most are college or university professors.
- Demonstrate excellent research abilities.
