Description
The Charles Koch Foundation’s General Grant Proposals opportunity supports research that spurs social progress and contributes to a society of mutual benefit. Researchers may propose work beyond the specific issues for which the Foundation issues targeted requests, provided the project shares its goals and vision. The program emphasizes innovative solutions and research with the potential to advance understanding of critical issues.
Proposals should explain the nature and feasibility of the research idea and its anticipated contribution to the field. Final projects must be original, previously unpublished, and meet the highest standards of their field. Accepted proposals may also receive support to disseminate findings. The Foundation emphasizes academic independence and openness, including scholars’ freedom to direct their research.
