Grants to USA scholars to support research on the economic, political, and social effects of the shifting ethnic and racial composition of the nation. Applicants must submit an LOI prior to submitting a full application. Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the recent mass protests regarding racial inequality, proposals are encouraged for research in the context of these crises.
The Russell Sage Foundation’s program on Race, Ethnicity & Immigration supports innovative investigator-initiated research on the social, economic, and political effects of the changing racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. population, including the transformation of communities and ideas about what it means to be American. RSF is especially interested in research that examines the roles of race, ethnicity, nativity, gender and legal status in outcomes for immigrants, U.S.-born racial and ethnic minorities, and native-born whites.
RSF encourages multi-disciplinary perspectives and methods that both strengthen the data, theory, and methods of social science research and foster a better understanding of how to foster the ideals of a pluralist society. Proposals may focus on any one or more of the issues—race, and/or ethnicity, and/or immigration.
The kinds of questions that are of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

The RSF is particularly interested in analyses that make use of newly available data or demonstrate novel uses of existing data. RSF also supports original data collection. Proposals to conduct field experiments, in-depth qualitative interviews, and ethnographies are also encouraged.
The Foundation encourages methodological variety and inter-disciplinary collaboration. All proposed projects must have well-developed conceptual frameworks and research designs. Analytical models must be specified and research questions and hypotheses (where applicable) must be clearly stated.
