Harry Frank Guggenheim Distinguished Scholar Awards

The Harry Frank Guggenheim Distinguished Scholar Awards recognize researchers proposing to illuminate violence-related issues. They fund specific projects with monetary grants, supporting research across natural and social sciences, with priority for timely, policy-relevant topics. Applications are invited annually and require an initial LOI followed by a full proposal for successful candidates.

Financial support for research projects; grants are awarded to individuals (or occasionally two or three principal investigators).

Applicants may be citizens of any country; while many recipients hold advanced degrees, there are no formal degree requirements, and applicants need not be affiliated with a university.

Apply online annually; first submit a brief LOI/described proposal, then, if invited, a full application.
