Russell Sage Foundation - Pipeline Grants Competition 

Deadline: Wednesday, November 1, 2023

Amount: Individual applicants can apply for grants of up to $35,000, and teams of eligible applicants can apply for grants of up to $50,000.

About: The Pipeline Grants Competition seeks to advance innovative research on economic mobility and access to opportunity in the United States. The Russell Sage Foundation (RSF) is interested in research focused on structural barriers to economic mobility and how individuals, communities and state entities understand, navigate and challenge systemic inequalities. See link below for examples of topics and questions that are relevant to this competition.

The competition seeks to support early- career scholars (Assistant Professors, Lecturers and Adjunct Assistant Professors) and promote diversity by prioritizing applications from scholars who are underrepresented in the social sciences. Only faculty who have not previously received a research grant or a visiting fellowship from RSF are eligible to apply. Full professors, associate professors, and assistant professors who have previously received RSF funding are eligible to be co-PI’s on projects, but cannot receive funding, and such teams are limited to the $35,000 budget limit. Grantees are expected to present their findings at a conference during summer 2025. Grantees, mentors, and other social scientists will participate. The conference will focus on providing feedback on the research ahead of publication and foster collaboration among researchers. RSF will reimburse one participant for reasonable travel expenses to attend the conference.
