Harry Frank Guggenheim Distinguished Scholar Award in Violence Research

The Awards recognize leading researchers from any of the natural and social sciences, proposing to make a significant contribution to illuminating an issue of violence. Research aimed to increase understanding of the causes, manifestations, and control of violence and aggression. Highest priority is given to research that addresses urgent, present-day problems of violence—what produces it, how it operates, and what prevents or reduces it. 

The Foundation is interested in violence related to many subjects, including, but not limited to, the following: War  /  Crime  /  Terrorism  /  Family and intimate-partner relationships  /  Climate instability and natural resource competition  /  Racial, ethnic, and religious conflict  /  Political extremism and nationalism.  Primacy is given to proposals that make a compelling case for the relevance of potential findings for policies intended to reduce these ills.  

Funding: Most awards fall within the range of $15,000 to $45,000 per year for periods of 1-2 years. Applications for larger amounts and longer durations will be considered but must be strongly justified.
