Description
The Charles Koch Foundation’s General Grant Proposals opportunity supports research that spurs social progress and contributes to a society of mutual benefit. Although the Foundation invites proposals on selected issues, this opportunity welcomes research beyond those topics when it shares the Foundation’s goals and vision. Researchers seeking innovative solutions can submit an online proposal to determine whether their project is a fit.
The program emphasizes the nature and feasibility of the proposed idea, the requirements of the research, and its potential to advance understanding of critical issues. Final projects are expected to be original, previously unpublished, and to meet the highest standards of their field. Accepted proposals may also receive support to disseminate research findings. The Foundation’s academic giving principles emphasize academic independence, openness, and scholars’ freedom to direct their research.
