Economic mobility and access to opportunity in the United States
RSF expects to fund between 10-15 one-year projects by assistant and associate professors. The proposal deadline is on December 3, 2019, for funding starting in Summer 2020. The funded researchers will be invited to submit their findings at a conference at the Russell Sage Foundation the following year, with investigators, mentors, advisory committee members, and other experts in attendance.
RSF are particularly interested in research focused on diagnosing and addressing structural barriers to economic mobility in this country. This includes racial, ethnic, gender, disciplinary, institutional, and geographic diversity. RSF has a long-standing goal of encouraging methodological variety and inter-disciplinary collaboration.
Questions should be sent to programs@rsage.org.
