ISRF Independent Scholar Research Fellowship in Interdisciplinary Social Science

The Independent Social Research Foundation (ISRF) wishes to support independent-minded researchers to do interdisciplinary work which is unlikely to be funded by existing funding bodies. It is interested in original research ideas which take new approaches, and suggest new solutions, to real world social problems.

The foundation intends to award on a competitive basis, to candidates of sufficient merit, up to two Independent Scholar Fellowship grants to support original interdisciplinary research, across the range of the social sciences, to be held from a start date no later than the end of December 2014. The award is intended to enable the buy-out from current occupation of an independent scholar to pursue his/her research full- or part-time (or for support if unwaged) for a period of up to 12 months (not to support newly qualified scholars entering the post-doctoral stage).

Closing date for applications is 4pm on September 13th 2013. For more information, see http://www.isrf.org/grant-competitions/isf1/http://www.isrf.org/download/.
