[Journalists] Collaborative Grants in Media and Communications, from the Social Science Research Council

[Everett Gavel]

Hello Listers,

I had to pass this one along.  Oh, the possibilities
there are with this grant opportunity. Count the ways.
But beware, the deadline's fast approaching for this
funding cycle.  But keep it in mind for next time, even
if you miss out this time.  Because they accept
applications every 4 months.


To Your Success!

Social Science Research Council Offers Collaborative
Grants
in Media and Communications

Deadline: April 22, 2007 (Letters of Inquiry)

The Social Science Research Council (
http://www.ssrc.org/ ) is
 accepting applications for large grants through its
Collaborative
 Grants program for academic-advocacy partnerships in
media and
 communications.

The program provides one-year grants of up to $30,000
each for
 support of academic-advocacy research collaborations
designed to
 change media/telecommunications infrastructure,
practices, or
 policies. Projects must involve substantive
collaboration between
 a researcher based at a university, college, or other
academically
 oriented research institution, and a U.S.-based
nonprofit
 advocacy, organizing, or community group working on
media and/or
 telecommunications issues.

The program also offers small grants of up to $7,500
for short-
 term academic research in support of advocacy and
activism in
 media and communications. Applications are accepted
approximately
 every four months. For application procedures,
deadlines, and
 other details, see the Small Grants section on the
SSRC Web site.

Complete program information and application procedures
are
 available at the SSRC Web site.
