International Sociological Association Seeks Applications for Science of Hope and Optimism Initiative

DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1, 2014 (LETTERS OF INTENT)

The International Sociological Association is seeking applications for a $1.4 million initiative focused on generating new research in the social sciences on the topics of hope and optimism.

Through its Science of Hope and Optimism Funding Initiative program, the association will award two-year grants of up to $250,000 for research projects that use a variety of methods to explore the nature of hope and optimism. Priority will be given to projects in cognitive, developmental, personality, health, and social psychology, as well as sociology. Interdisciplinary teams that include members from cognate areas — e.g., cognitive science, anthropology, nursing, and biology — are encouraged.

Visit the ISA website for complete program guidelines and application instructions.
