Description
The Social Science Research Council (SSRC) is currently offering grants to support public engagement by academic experts on Islamic traditions and Muslim societies. The grants program seeks to encourage projects permitting the dissemination of academic research on Islamic traditions and Muslim societies to targeted constituencies, with particular emphasis on media and policymakers. With this program the SSRC looks to nurture the public relevancy of area studies research by promoting strategic partnerships that will break down barriers and build connections between academic researchers, journalists, policymakers, and practitioners. The SSRC also seeks to assist faculty in developing the necessary skills they require to be able to engage specialized nonacademic audiences on the topic of Islam in the world.
Eligibility
The fellowship Grants will be awarded to interdisciplinary research centers on U.S. university campuses, including but not limited to Title VI National Resource Centers. Research centers are eligible to apply individually for grants up to $50,000 to be used over a period of fifteen months. Extraordinary projects involving multiple collaborating centers or universities may be considered for grants up to $100,000. The program has awarded $2.6 million in grants to date and anticipates giving out approximately $1.1 million in awards in the next cycle.
