2026 IAPHS Annual Meeting: Health & Social Justice Sessions (03/10/26)
The IAPHS Committee on Health & Social Justice invites abstract proposals for the 2026 IAPHS Annual Meeting that explore methodological approaches for conducting rigorous, ethical, and trust-building research with hypermarginalized populations. For this call,hypermarginalized populations refer to communities who experience intensified and overlapping forms of structural exclusion, including (but not limited to) criminalization, displacement or houselessness, immigration enforcement, state surveillance, and chronic institutional neglect. We encourage submissions that recognize the heterogeneity within these groups and avoid treating any community as monolithic.
We are particularly interested in abstracts that highlight liberatory or justice-centered research methods, specifically, approaches that intentionally shift traditional power dynamics in population health research by centering community expertise, ensuring meaningful participation, and reducing the risk of harm. These may include (but are not limited to) community-driven or participatory approaches, data sovereignty practices, trauma-informed research design, abolitionist or freedom-centered frameworks, and other methodologies that support ethical engagement with communities for whom trust in institutions has historically been compromised.
Submissions should describe 1) how researchers or practitioners collaborate with communities experiencing compounded marginalization to build mutual respect and trust . 2) Methods that respect safety, autonomy, and non-extraction. And, 3) Methodological innovation to generate more valid, action-oriented knowledge while maintaining fidelity to ethical practice.
Proposals may draw from research, practice, or community-academic partnerships.

Russell Sage Foundation – Social, Political and Economic Inequality Research Grants (03/11/26)
Award amount: $200,000
Sponsor deadline: 03/11/2026
Program description:
The Russell Sage Foundation’s (RSF) program on Social, Political, and Economic Inequality supports innovative research on the factors that contribute to social, political, and economic inequalities in the U.S., and the extent to which those inequalities affect social, political, psychological, and economic outcomes such as educational and labor market access and opportunities, social and economic mobility within and across generations, and civic participation and representation.
We seek innovative investigator-initiated research that will expand our understanding of social, political, and economic inequalities and the mechanisms by which they influence the lives of individuals, families, and communities. We welcome projects that explore the relevance of economic, racial, ethnic, age, gender, immigration, residence, or other statuses for the distribution of social, political, and economic outcomes within and across different status groups.
RSF prioritizes analyses that make use of newly available data or demonstrate novel uses of existing data. We support original data collection when a project is focused on important program priorities, projects that conduct survey or field experiments and qualitative studies. RSF encourages methodological variety and inter-disciplinary collaboration. Proposed projects must have well-developed conceptual frameworks and rigorous research designs. Analytical models must be well-specified and research methods must be appropriate.
A brief letter of inquiry (4 pages max. excluding references) must precede a full proposal to determine whether the proposed project is in line with the Foundation’s program priorities and available funds.
