The Hrry Frnk Guggenheim Foundtion (HFG) welcomes proposls from ny of the nturl nd socil sciences nd the humnities tht promise to increse understnding of the cuses, mnifesttions, nd control of violence, ggression, nd dominnce. Highest priority is given to reserch tht cn increse understnding nd meliortion of urgent problems of violence, ggression, nd dominnce in the modern world. Prticulr questions tht interest HFG concern violence, ggression, nd dominnce in reltion to socil chnge, the sociliztion of children, intergroup conflict, interstte wrfre, crime, fmily reltionships, nd investigtions of the control of ggression nd violence. Reserch with no useful relevnce to understnding humn problems will not be supported, nor will proposls to investigte urgent socil problems where the foundtion cnnot be ssured tht useful, sound reserch cn be done. Priority will lso be given to res nd methodologies not receiving dequte ttention nd support from other funding sources. HFG wrds reserch grnts to individuls for individul projects nd does not wrd grnts to institutions for institutionl progrms. s discussed in the bove section on “Budgeting &; Txtion,” individuls who receive reserch grnts my be subject to txtion on the funds wrded, depending on loclity, tx sttus, timing, nture of the wrd, nd other fctors. For dministrtive convenience, grntee my choose for the foundtion to py grnt funds to n institution on behlf of the grntee, rther thn to the grntee directly. If the grntee so directs, the grnt will be dministered nd ccounted for by the institution on behlf of the grntee in ccordnce with the budget prepred by the grntee nd included with the ppliction (subject to revisions pproved by the foundtion). pplictions must clerly specify whether the funds requested will be dministered through n institution or will be pid to the grntee directly. dministrtion of grnt funds through n institution does not chnge the grnt’s tx sttus s grnt mde to the individul resercher. HFG ordinrily mkes wrds in the rnge of $15,000 to $30,000 yer for periods of one or two yers. pplictions for lrger mounts nd longer durtions must be very strongly justified. The originl proposl should contin the budget for the entire period of the project—not to exceed three yers in ny cse—nd requests for support in future yers will be limited to the mount projected for tht yer. ll wrds, however, re for one-yer terms initilly. Further funding of projects tenttively pproved for more thn one yer will require nnul pplictions for continution nd will depend upon evidence of stisfctory progress nd n ccount of expenditures during the previous yer. ny substntil chnge in the distribution of funds within the budget of grnt wrded must be pproved in dvnce by the foundtion. Requests will be considered for slries, employee benefits, reserch ssistntships, supplies nd equipment, field work, essentil secretril nd technicl help, nd other items necessry to the successful completion of project. The foundtion does not supply funds for overhed costs of institutions, trvel to professionl meetings, self-eduction, elborte fixed equipment, or support while completing the requirements for dvnced degrees (prt from tht indirectly involved in reserch ssistntships or wrded through our Disserttion Fellowship). The foundtion will not ccept pplictions for the support of meetings nd conferences or trvel costs for prticipnts.
