The Horowitz Foundation for Social Policy has selected twenty scholars to receive research grants in the social sciences for the 2024-2025 award year. Among them was Ayelet Carmeli for her research on Varieties of Financial Citizenship: Welfare States and Savings Regimes.
“This year we received 501 applications” said Horowitz Foundation Chairman Ayse Akincigil. “The awards are competitive: the twenty applicants who are receiving awards this year represent less than four 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.”
Established in 1997, the Horowitz Foundation issued its first awards in 1999. Awards are granted for policy-related research in all major areas of the social sciences. Only doctoral students whose dissertation proposals have been approved by their committees are eligible to apply. Awards are approved solely on merit, and are not allocated so as to ensure a representative base of disciplines. Applicants need not be citizens of the United States, and grants are not restricted to U.S. residents.
