About the opportunity
What this programme is offering
The Foundation supports projects with a social policy application on either a global or local level.
Applications are evaluated based on the Trustees’ assessment of criteria such as significance of the policy issue; feasibility, applicability, and originality of the project; methodology; evidence that the project is theoretically informed and/or the research is empirically rich; and recommendations. No specific weight is given to any one area. Proposals are evaluated based on overall merit of all aspects of the application.
We encourage applicants to look at the kind of projects we have supported in previous years.
The Horowitz Foundation for Social Policy is committed to supporting outstanding social science research with practical policy relevance. Through its annual grant programme, the Foundation helps emerging scholars undertake research that contributes to addressing contemporary social issues and improving public policy.
The Foundation welcomes projects from across the social sciences, provided they demonstrate a clear connection to social policy and have the potential to produce meaningful societal impact
