| Ittleson Foundation, Inc. | Mental Health Grants | The Ittleson Foundation generally provides seed funds for the start-up of innovative programs that will improve the social welfare of U.S. citizens. The foundation seeks pilot projects, test and demonstration projects, and applied research with the potential to inform public policy. Such projects should be national in scope, or of significance beyond the local area of implementation. Programs are expected to result in a product or outcome of consequence in the real world.

| American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) | ACLS Collaborative Research Fellowships | The aim of this fellowship program is to offer small teams of two or more scholars the opportunity to collaborate intensively on a single, substantive project in the humanities and related social sciences. Appropriate fields of specialization include, but are not limited to, American studies; anthropology; archaeology; art and architectural history; classics; economics; film; geography; history; languages and literatures; legal studies; linguistics; musicology; philosophy; political science; psychology; religious studies; rhetoric, communication, and media studies; science, technology, and medicine studies; sociology; and theater, dance, and performance studies. Proposals in the social science fields listed above are eligible only if they employ predominantly humanistic approaches (e.g., economic history, law and literature, political theory). Proposals in interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary studies are welcome, as are proposals focused on any geographic region or on any cultural or linguistic group. The fellowship supports projects that aim to produce a tangible research product (such as joint print or web publications) for which two or more collaborators will take credit. It is hoped that projects of successful applicants will help demonstrate the range and value of both collaborative research and inquiry in the humanities, and model how such collaboration may be carried out successfully. | 9/30/2010 | Fellowship - GSU-243 |
| American Sociological Association (ASA) | Minority Fellowship Program (MFP) | Supports the development and training of sociologists of color in mental health and drug abuse research. | 1/31/2010 | Fellowship - GSU-209 |
| American Sociological Association (ASA) | ASA Congressional Fellowship | The fellowship brings a Ph.D.-level sociologist to Washington, DC, to work as a staff member on a congressional committee or in a congressional office.

This intensive six-month experience reveals the intricacies of the policy making process to the sociological fellow, and shows the usefulness of sociological data and concepts to policy issues. ASA will join with other associations' congressional fellows to offer orientation, meetings, and support for the person selected. The person will work closely with the ASA's Spivack Program on Applied Social Research and Social Policy, with possibilities for congressional staff or press briefings, public speaking, writing issue papers, and other opportunities. | 2/1/2010 | Fellowship - GSU-359 |
| American Sociological Association (ASA) | Community Action Research Initiative (CARI) Grants | CARI provides small grants to encourage sociologists to undertake community action projects that bring social science knowledge, methods, and expertise to bear in addressing community-identified issues and concerns. The goal of this program is to link sociologists with community action groups and to use sociological research to advance the goals of those groups. Sociologists are expected to work in relevant community organizations. The proposed work can include such activities as needs assessments, empirical research relevant to community activities or action planning, the design or implementation (or both) of evaluation studies, or analytic review of the social science literature related to a policy issue or problem. Innovative placements and plans are encouraged. They may also be called upon by ASA to participate in press briefings, testimony, or other presentations related to the subject area of the fellowship. Standard research projects, however interesting, are not appropriate for this funding. | 2/1/2010 | Grants - GSU-360 |
