The premise of the GRRI is that, as religion persists in significance in the contemporary, globalizing world, the social sciences in North America need much better to understand the diversity of religions and to integrate that enhanced understanding into research, theory, and teaching. The GRRI offers a variety of competitive funding opportunities to scholars at all stages of their careers designed to realize those scholarly ends. We welcome proposals not only from scholars who already study religion, but also those for whom the study of religion is a new but genuine interest. We look forward to receiving great proposals from you! — Dr. Christian Smith Congratulations to the GRRI Round 3 Award Recipients! Read more about the 44 researchers and their winning proposals → To encourage a broader study of religion, particularly outside of the North Atlantic region, the (GRRI) is seeking applications for research funding from scholars across the social sciences. Housed in the Center for the Study of Religion and Society at the University of Notre Dame, GRRI seeks to provide resources for researchers interested in building on current knowledge to study religion from a global perspective, and to examine if what is known about religion in the West holds for other contexts as well. -- Read more about GRRI GRRI offers distinct competitive research and writing grants.
