Distinguished Scholar Awards for Researchers, 2022

The Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation offers the Distinguished Scholar Award for the 2022/23 cohort. Awards support research in natural and social sciences addressing urgent, present-day problems of violence, with a focus on projects that have policy relevance. Most awards range from $15,000 to $45,000 per year for one or two years, and are awarded to individuals for specific projects rather than institutional programs.

Cash award funding for specific research projects; potential taxes on funds may apply

Applicants may be citizens of any country. While most recipients have a Ph.D., there are no formal degree requirements. The award cannot be used for graduate-degree requirements, and applicants need not be affiliated with an institution, though many are university professors.
