Posted: 10/2/2025 ()

Sponsor: Social Sciences Research Council

Program: Economic Research Rescue Fund

https://www.ssrc.org/programs/economic-research-rescue-fund/

Award amount: $25K to $250K, with most awards under $50K

Sponsor deadline: Rolling; funds are limited – grantseekers should apply as soon as possible

 

Program Description:

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is dramatically reducing its vital support for scientific research. Principal Investigators who were conducting or facilitating economic research under a grant terminated by NSF can now apply for rescue funds to mitigate disruptions of work that promises to provide significant societal benefits.

 

Eligibility

To be eligible for rescue funding, a research project must:

• Have received an NSF funding award prior to 6/1/2025
• Had that award officially terminated, cancelled, or suspended by the NSF
• Be economics-related, as evidenced by the inclusion of the CV of at least one practicing PhD economist in the original NSF funding application
