New applications must be submitted by August 1, for a decision in December.
The foundation maintains a vital interest in the overall efforts to increase economic literacy, including the application of new strategies for teaching economics including on-line and web-based instruction, projects, policy studies, or programs that encourage measurement of economic understanding, and programs that help otherwise disenfranchised youth and/or young adults with children learn to participate in the economic system.
The John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress invites qualified scholars to conduct research at the Kluge Center using the Library of Congress collections and resources for a period of four to eleven months. Established in 2000 through an endowment of $60 million from John W. Kluge, the Center is located in the splendid Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress. The Kluge Center furnishes attractive work and discussion space for Kluge Chair holders, for distinguished visiting scholars, and for post-doctoral Fellows supported by other private foundation gifts.
The Foundation makes targeted grants for work in major areas of the social sciences, including anthropology, area studies, economics, political science, psychology, sociology, and urban studies, as well as newer areas such as evaluation research. Research grants are open to scholars in all social science disciplines for projects that deal with contemporary issues in the social sciences, particularly issues of policy relevance.Â

Eligibility
This FOA calls for research addressing the medical, sociological, psychological and structural causes and consequences of transgender and gender nonconforming identities. Investigations of the social determinants of health in these populations are needed, including understanding the impact of stigma, the high impact of HIV, minority stress, education, employment, violence, homelessness, and incarceration. More information is needed on relationships with partners and family, as well as on sexual and reproductive health.
The NIH Research Project Grant supports a discrete, specified, circumscribed project in scientific areas that represent the investigators’ specific interests and competencies and that fall within the mission of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs). The R01 is the original, and historically the oldest, grant mechanism used by the NIH to support health-related research and development.
Â
This FOA calls for research applications that address individual adherence to recommended treatment and prevention regimens to promote health, health outcomes, and quality of life. Many NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices have joined together to support this initiative. Applications should be relevant to both the general objectives of the FOA and to the specific research interests of at least one participating Institute or Center. Brief descriptions of the specific interests of the Institutes and Centers follow the cross-cutting list provided below.

Cognitive neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field of research to understand the neural basis of human cognition. The cognitive neuroscience program therefore seeks to fund highly innovative proposals that employ brain-based measurements in order to advance our understanding of the neural systems that mediate cognitive processes.
