These research funds support proposals that promise to advance understanding of the social, institutional and biological mechanisms shaping human beliefs and behavior. The funds will be used to support interdisciplinary social science research projects based on innovative experimental or observational designs that make use of sophisticated quantitative methods. The Fund also supports seminars, conferences, and other research-related activities. The Fund is especially interested in reviewing and supporting research on the foundations of human behavior of the following kinds:
- Interdisciplinary projects
- Innovative projects
- Exploratory projects
- Projects with the potential to have an enormous impact on social science, policy, or human well-being
- Research conducted with the collaboration of new investigators (although investigators at all career stages are encouraged to apply)
- Research requiring seed funding, possibly to explore the viability of ideas for larger-scale, externally funded efforts
