Every week, Perspectives Daily showcases a new grant, fellowship, or scholarship that has been posted to our free community calendar. This week we are featuring the SSRC Religion, Spirituality, and Democratic Renewal Fellowship.

Criteria

The Social Science Research Council (SSRC) invites proposals for research projects at the intersection of religion, spirituality, and democracy in the United States as part of a new Religion, Spirituality, and Democratic Renewal Fellowship. These fellowships are offered by the SSRC's Program on Religion and the Public Sphere with the support and partnership of the Fetzer Institute. Proposals on all aspects and dimensions of religion and spirituality in its relation to democracy from across all fields in the social sciences, humanities, and theology are welcome. The fellowship is available to doctoral students who have advanced to candidacy and to postdoctoral researchers within five years of their PhD.

Fellowship funds will typically be used for activities directly related to research, such as travel expenses and accommodations, research equipment and supplies, support for research assistants, and costs for access to publications or proprietary databases. In exceptional cases, and in consultation with program staff, award funds may be used to cover other expenses.

Amount

The fellowships offer research support over a period of up to 12 months to doctoral students who have advanced to candidacy and to postdoctoral researchers within five years of their PhD. Doctoral candidates will receive up to $15,000 and postdoctoral researchers up to $18,000 toward research-related expenses.
