Social Science Research Council

This program is currently closed to new applications.

The SSRC is offering small grants in aid of up to $5,000 (in rare cases $7,500) to enable researchers to complete projects bearing on Hurricane Katrina, its impacts on people and places, and the reconstruction of the Gulf Coast. These may supplement funds from other sources. Preference will be given to students completing dissertation projects and to younger researchers, but applications are welcome from others. The awards are intended to enable people to bring to fruition research they have already begun.
