The University of Notre Dame Grants

Four to eight proposals for funding of between $250,000 and $500,000 will be awarded in this first wave of competition in 2009.

A second grant competition in 2010 will fund smaller research projects with budgets up to $150,000.

The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) initiative is to stimulate a field of generosity research focused on its genesis, manifestations, and benefits.

The University will consider inquiries from scholars worldwide that propose to focus research on any one of these aspects of generosity or inquiries that propose to investigate more than one aspect and the linkages between them.

Scholars and teams of scholars are invited to participate from the fields of anthropology, behavioral economics, business and finance, communications, cultural studies, economics, education, family and developmental studies, geography, law, political science, psychology, social psychology, sociobiology, and sociology.

The criteria by which the proposals will be judged are: Significance, approach and methods, innovation, investigators, financial responsibility, potential scholarly influence, institutional and collateral support.

Deadline: 1st December.
