Is there a deadline to apply for a research grant?

We have issued RFPs which do have associated deadlines, but we will also accept inquiries and applications year-round, although they are unlikely to be funded if they fall outside our areas of focus.

Can anyone apply for a research grant?

Yes, but only applications from researchers we deem qualified and with the skills needed to complete the proposed research will be considered.

Is there a limit to the size of the grants?

Our grants generally range from several thousand to thirty thousand USD, but we will consider any grant small or large.

Do you grant operating funds for advocacy, or do you only fund research?

We only fund research.

Once I apply, how long will it be before I know if my proposal has been funded?

We cannot guarantee a reply within a specific time frame, but we can say that responses to an active RFP will be given according to the time frame listed in the RFP, and proposals outside our RFP will be responded to as soon as we are able.
