Special Initiative on Integrating Biology and Social Science Knowledge Accepting Inquiries

The Russell Sage Foundation (RSF) has launched a special initiative, Integrating Biology and Social Science Knowledge, which will capitalize on new theories, concepts, and data from the biological sciences to advance research in RSF core programs in social inequality, behavioral economics, the future of work, and race, ethnicity, and immigration. The initiative is intended to integrate biology into social science models and social and environmental circumstances into biological models in order to further the understanding of how environments influence behaviors and socioeconomic outcomes. A detailed letter of inquiry must precede a full proposal.

Deadline to Apply: May 24, 2018 for proposals on race, ethnicity, and immigration and behavior economics; August 20, 2018 for proposals on the future of work, social inequality, and behavioral economics.
