| "a
small number of Dissertation Fellowships are awarded each year to individuals
who will complete the writing of the dissertation within the award year.
Highest priority is given to research that can increase understanding and
amelioration of urgent problems of violence, aggression, and dominance in
the modern world. Particular questions that interest the foundation concern
violence, aggression, and dominance in relation to social change, the socialization
of children, intergroup conflict, drug trafficking and use, family relationships,
and investigations of the control of aggression and violence. Research with
no useful relevance to understanding and attempting to cope with problems
of human violence and aggression will not be supported, nor will proposals
to investigate urgent social problems where the foundation cannot be assured
that useful, sound research can be done. Priority will also be given to
areas and methodologies not receiving adequate attention and support from
other funding sources." |

Note this grant is also for research before write-up. "Fellowships
will be awarded for advanced training in population studies, including
demography and public health, in combination with a social science discipline,
such as economics, sociology, anthropology, or geography. Awards will
be made only to applicants whose proposals deal with the developing world.
Awards are open to candidates who have completed all coursework requirements
toward a Ph.D. or an equivalent degree in demography or in one of the
social sciences. Applications requesting support for either the dissertation
fieldwork or the dissertation write-up will be considered. Approximately
ten awards will be made for this category." |
