Early Career Awards
The Russell Sage Foundation seeks to support doctoral students and early-career scholars through its Pipeline Grants Competition, Grants for Causal Research on the Criminal Justice System, and Dissertation Research Grants program.
Pipeline Grants Competition
The Pipeline Grants Competition for early-career researchers is a collaboration with the Economic Mobility and Opportunity program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The competition seeks to promote diversity in the social sciences broadly, including racial, ethnic, gender, disciplinary, institutional, and geographic diversity. Early-career faculty who have not previously received support from RSF in the form of a Trustee or Presidential research grant or a visiting fellowship from RSF are eligible to apply.
Dissertation Research Grants
The Russell Sage Foundation (RSF) has established a dissertation research grants (DRG) program to support innovative and high-quality dissertation research projects that address questions relevant to RSF’s priority areas.
Causal Research on the Criminal Justice System
The Russell Sage Foundation (RSF), in collaboration with the Criminal Justice program at Arnold Ventures (AV) is pleased to announce its first annual grants competition for early-career scholars, "Causal Research on the Criminal Justice System" (CRCJ). Our goal is to cultivate a pipeline of researchers conducting causal research on the criminal justice system. Criminal justice policies and practices include the work of police, courts, jails, prisons, probation and parole, and immigration detention.
