Russell Sage Foundation Dissertation Research Grants Program

Russell Sage Foundation Dissertation Research Grants Program Deadline

RSF has established a dissertation research grants (DRG) program to support innovative and high-quality dissertation research that addresses questions relevant to any of its priority areas: Behavioral Science and Decision Making in Context; Future of Work; Race, Ethnicity and Immigration; Immigration and Immigrant Integration; and Social, Political, and Economic Inequality. Proposed projects must be closely aligned with the funding priorities listed on our website for any of these areas, contribute to our mission to improve social and living conditions in the U.S., and demonstrate appropriate use of relevant theory, innovative data, rigorous methods, and measures. To be eligible, applicants must be enrolled doctoral students who have completed all program requirements except the dissertation.

The proposal deadline is February 1, 2023, for funding starting in Summer 2023.

Earlier this year RSF program staff held a webinar that provides important information about the program, eligibility requirements, and application process. Watch the webinar here.
