Science of Virtues- Research Grants

Introduction: The Arete Initiative at the University of Chicago is
pleased to announce a new $3 million research program on a New Science
of Virtues. This is a multidisciplinary research initiative that seeks
contributions from individuals and from teams of investigators working
within the humanities and the sciences. We support highly original,
scholarly projects that demonstrate promise of a distinctive
contribution to virtue research and have the potential to begin a new
field of interdisciplinary study.

Eligibility: The selection criteria by which the Council will evaluate
proposals and select the winners would focus on the ability of the
proposal to generate ground-breaking results in the study of virtues.
To ascertain the likely success of the researcher, they will also be
expected to consider the scholar's record of achievement, training
history, and the promise of long-term impact.

Amount Awarded: two-year research grants will be awarded ranging from
$50,000 to $300,000.

Indirect Cost Recovery: This scheme is subject to University of Sydney
indirect costs of up to 20%.

The Human Frontier Science Program- Research Grants

The Human Frontier Science Program- Research Grants


Introduction: The Human Frontier Science Program supports
international collaborations in basic life science research with
emphasis placed on novel, innovative and interdisciplinary approaches
to fundamental investigations. Applications are invited for grants to
support new approaches to understanding complex mechanisms of living
organisms. Preliminary results are not required but applicants are
expected to develop new lines of research distinct from their ongoing
research.

There are two types of grants: New Investigators' Grants are for teams
of scientists who are all within five years of establishing an
independent laboratory and within ten years of obtaining their PhDs.
Program Grants are for teams of scientists at all stages of their
careers, however the participation of younger scientists is especially
encouraged.

Eligibility: The principal applicant must be located in one of the
member countries (includes Australia) but co-investigators can be
located in any country.

Amount Awarded: Grants provide 3 years support for 2 – 4 member teams.
Awards are dependent on team size but can be up to US$450K per annum.

Indirect Cost Recovery: This scheme is subject to University of Sydney
indirect costs of up to 10%.
