Call for Enhanced Collaboration Proposals
We are pleased to announce a call for proposals for additional funding of up to $20,000 for this academic year (2025-2026). Funds can also be used to support research during Summer 2026. This funding will be awarded for proposals that include members from at least two current ISH and/or BKI research teams and demonstrate enhanced cross-disciplinary collaboration. This collaboration could focus on an overlap in or the complementary use of methods, data, or key concepts in your research. We continue to be particularly interested in projects pursuing tangible research outcomes that can inform interventions to mitigate hate and promote kindness and compassion. To that end, preference will be given to projects that:
- Have the potential for demonstrable outcomes by Fall 2026 (the project can represent the first phase of a larger project);
- Pilot or focus on compassion-driven interventions to fight or prevent hate/discrimination;
- Pilot or focus on interventions aimed at generating kindness, prosociality, compassion, or empathy;
- Measure the efficacy of kindness- and hate-related interventions.
Application Process:
Applications should include the following: (1) Project Title (2) Project Abstract (up to 200 words) (3) Project Budget (funds may not be used for faculty salary support) (4) Name/Contact information of the department’s finance officer (who will be responsible for receiving and managing the transfer, as well as submitting a close-out report).
Please submit a proposal for enhanced collaboration HERE by March 15th.
- Only current ISH or BKI research fellows are eligible to apply. Projects can involve collaborations between different ISH teams, between different BKI teams, or between different BKI and ISH teams.
