Constant H. Jacquet Research Awards

The Religious Research Association announces its annual competition for the Constant H. Jacquet Research Award to support research in religion. Research projects must use social scientific methods and perspectives to study aspects of religion, and all proposals must discuss how the research is applicable for religious organizations, leaders, and/or practitioners. The RRA welcomes applied, client-centered projects as well as social scientific research on any aspect of religion, with preference given to applied projects. Proposals from students, especially Ph.D. candidates, and scholars who are in the early stages of their careers are particularly encouraged, with the aim to fund at least one student project per year. Funding may be used for research expenses, but not for supplemental income or capital equipment. The Religious Research Association does not pay indirect research expenses to universities or other sponsoring organizations. Awards become available July 1, and recipients should plan to expend the grant within one year after accepting the award.
