Description: The
Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation (HFG) welcomes proposals
from any of the natural and social sciences and the humanities
that promise to increase understanding of the causes, manifestations,
and control of violence, aggression, and dominance.
Particular questions that interest HFG concern violence, aggression,
and dominance in relation to social change, the socialization
of children, intergroup conflict, interstate warfare, crime,
family relationships, and investigations of the control of
aggression and violence. Research with no useful relevance
to understanding human problems will not be supported, nor
will proposals to investigate urgent social problems where
the foundation cannot be assured that useful, sound research
can be done. Priority will also be given to areas and methodologies
not receiving adequate attention and support from other funding
sources.
HFG ordinarily makes awards in the range of $15,000 to $30,000
a year for periods of one or two years. Send
applications to: please see website listed above;
