About the Program:

The Foundation’s Immigration program is no longer accepting new grant proposals. The Immigration and Cultural Contact programs have been replaced by the Foundation’s new Research on Ethnicity and Immigration program. Please click here for more information about the new program.

Since 1991, the Foundation’s Immigration program has looked beyond the immediate costs and benefits of immigration to the United States to examine how well immigrants and their children are adapting socially, politically, and economically. To assess the long-range progress of today’s immigrants, the program sponsored three large-scale surveys of second-generation immigrants to address a series of questions, including English proficiency, job history, and marriage patterns. Currently, the program has turned to two new areas of research: one on the entry of immigrants into the civic and political life of the nation, and another exploring how immigrants fare as they settle in new destinations outside traditional gateway cities.
