Description
The Sheldon Danziger Pipeline Grants, offered by the Russell Sage Foundation, are designed to support early-career scholars in the social sciences who are conducting innovative research on economic mobility and access to opportunity in the United States. The program particularly encourages proposals that address structural barriers and systemic inequalities, and it aims to promote diversity within the social science research community. Grantees are paired with mentors who provide guidance on both research and professional development. Projects must be completed within one year, and recipients are expected to present their findings at a capstone research conference.
