HFG Distinguished Scholar Awards

Funds research on violence, aggression, and dominance, causes, manifestations, and control. Covers natural and social sciences, humanities. Open worldwide.

Established researchers worldwide; research must address violence, aggression, or security; no country restrictions. CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. The award, however, may not be used to support research undertaken as part of the requirements for a graduate degree. Applicants need not be affiliated with an institution of higher learning, although most are college or university professors

The Foundation supports research that investigates the basic mechanisms in the production of violence, but primacy is given to proposals that make a compelling case for the relevance of potential findings for policies intended to reduce these ills. Likewise, historical research is considered to the extent that it is relevant to the current situation of violence. Examinations of the effects of violence are welcome insofar as a strong case is made that these outcomes may serve, in turn, as causes of future violence.
