2024 Recipients!

 

HOROWITZ FOUNDATION AWARDS GRANTS TO 25 SCHOLARS FOR SOCIAL POLICY RESEARCH

                                                           

June 2, 2024, New Brunswick, NJ –The Horowitz Foundation for Social Policy has selected twenty scholars to receive research grants in the social sciences for the 2023 award year. Those receiving awards, their research topics, and the institutions with which they are affiliated are listed at the end of this announcement.

 

“This year we received 771 applications, continuing the high number of quality applications of previous years,” said Mary Curtis- Horowitz. “The awards are competitive: the twenty applicants who are receiving awards this year represent less than 3 percent of those who applied. Although many of the proposals were on topics of social and political importance, the Foundation’s Trustees consider these proposals to be particularly strong, and vibrant examples of how policy research can help meet the challenges of today’s complex society.”
