Description

The Harry Frank Guggenheim Distinguished Scholar Awards support established researchers aiming to make significant contributions to understanding and addressing violence and aggression. The Foundation welcomes proposals from the natural and social sciences and allied disciplines, prioritizing work that addresses urgent, contemporary problems of violence—such as war, crime, terrorism, family and intimate-partner violence, climate instability, resource competition, racial/ethnic/religious conflict, political extremism, and nationalism. Projects should demonstrate policy relevance and may include historical research if it informs current issues. Studies on the effects of violence are considered if outcomes may themselves lead to further violence.
