This initiative is carried out in collaboration with and support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
The Russell Sage Foundation (RSF) special initiative on Decision Making and Human Behavior in Context supports innovative research on decision making across the social sciences that examines causes, consequences, processes, or context from a behavioral or alternative perspective. We support a wide range of research on decision-making in context by scholars in psychology, political science, sociology, and other social science fields who are pursuing questions consistent with the aims of the Foundation.
The Russell Sage Foundation/Kellogg Foundation’s Initiative on Non-Standard Work seeks to support innovative social science research on the causes and consequences of the increased incidence of alternative work arrangements in the United States. We define alternative work arrangements as temporary help agency workers, on-call workers, contract workers, and independent contractors or freelancers. We use the terms non-standard work and alternative work arrangements interchangeably.
RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal of original empirical research articles by both established and emerging scholars. It is designed to promote cross-disciplinary collaborations on timely issues of interest to academics, policymakers, and the public at large. Each issue is thematic in nature and focuses on a specific research question or area of interest.
Visiting Researcher positions are available for visits of five months as space permits and do not come with any Foundation financial support.
If you still have clarifying questions regarding the submission of letters of inquiry (LOI) or proposals after consulting our website, please contact us at programs@rsage.org. Due to the large amount of applications we receive, we are unable to read or provide feedback on draft LOIs. We cannot guarantee a response to any questions submitted within 10 days of a deadline.
