The grant will be administered by the applicant’s university which must act as the fiscal agent. RSF will pay the entire grant within several weeks of receiving the signed grant letter. Narrative and financial reports will be due at the conclusion of the grant period.
Papers that are coauthored with faculty are eligible under this program, but the faculty coauthor is ineligible for funding.
An applicant whose proposal is not funded can reapply in a subsequent competition.
Grantees of RSF-Upjohn grants will be expected to give a research seminar at the Upjohn Institute at a time that is useful to the grantee. Upjohn will cover expenses for the visit.

The grantmaking process at the Russell Sage Foundation is rigorous and competitive. Applicants should review our guidelines to ensure they comply with our eligibility requirements. RSF rarely considers projects for which the investigators have not already fully-developed the research design, the sample framework, and access to data.
