Title: Short Courses on Innovative Methodologies in the Behavioral and Social Sciences (R25)
Program: This funding opportunity announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) and participating Institutes and Centers invite Research Education Grant (R25) applications to develop, implement, evaluate and disseminate short courses in innovative methods for behavioral and social sciences research (BSSR). Methodological domains include but are not limited to experimental design, data collection, measurement, and data analysis and visualization.

Title: Social Psychology
Program: The Social Psychology Program at NSF supports basic research on human social behavior, including cultural differences and development over the life span. Among the many research topics supported are: attitude formation and change, social cognition, personality processes, interpersonal relations and group processes, the self, emotion, social comparison and social influence, and the psychophysiological and neurophysiological bases of social behavior. The scientific merit of a proposal depends on four important factors: (1) The problems investigated must be theoretically grounded. (2) The research should be based on empirical observation or be subject to empirical validation. (3) The research design must be appropriate to the questions asked. (4) The proposed research must advance basic understanding of social behavior.
Deadline: July 15, 2013

Foundations
Funding Source: Volkswagen Foundation
Title: Key Issues for Research and Society
Program: With this funding initiative the VolkswagenStiftung focuses on complex research questions which have the quality, significance and relevance of a "key issue for research and society". Increasingly, a successful analysis of such topics beyond conventional settings requires – as in cultural studies and social sciences – a close cooperation between several researchers with different expertise. However, the VolkswagenStiftung does not define the key topics. On the contrary, the call is for the resourcefulness and creativity of the scholars to track down corresponding problem areas and questions and to demonstrate the relevance and significance of a "key issue" in a comparative peer review process. A requirement for applying is that the project is primarily located in the humanities, cultural studies, or social sciences.

UC
Funding Source: Institute for Humanities Research
Title: Research Clusters
Program: This program is designed to encourage and support research in any area of the Humanities. In addition to programming (e.g., conferences, workshops, seminars, visiting scholars), we encourage the clusters to view this as seed funding and to think about ways the cluster can serve as an incubator for larger projects in the future (e.g., websites and other digital projects, edited volumes, the establishment of research centers, NEH Summer Seminars, UC multi-campus research groups etc.) and how they can leverage cluster funds to secure extramural funding. Preference will be given to clusters that have not already received multiple years of funding, though all proposals will be considered.

Title: Fulbright U.S. Student Program (Fulbright IIE)
Program: Established in 1946 by the U.S. Congress to "enable the government of the United States to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries", Fulbright is the largest U.S. international exchange program offering opportunities for students, scholars, and professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and teaching in elementary and secondary schools worldwide.

Title: Early Care and Education Research Scholars: Head Start Graduate Student Research Grants
Program: The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation of the Administration for Children and Families plans to provide funds for Head Start Graduate Student Research Grants to support dissertation research by advanced graduate students who are working in partnership with Head Start programs and with faculty mentors. Competitive applicants will 1) demonstrate a collaborative partnership with their program partners, and 2) pursue research questions that directly inform local, State, or Federal policy relevant to multiple early care and education contexts. Applicants should consider pursuing data collection across contexts, including child care, pre-k, home-visiting programs, Head Starts, Early Head Starts, and/or others. Applicants are expected to demonstrate an established partnership with their early care and education program partners that should be apparent throughout the research plan, from development and refinement of the research questions through the proposed data collection, interpretation, and dissemination.
