Applications for the Harry Straight to the point Guggenheim African Individual Honors 2023 are currently open. The Harry Forthcoming,Guggenheim African Individual Honors (previously the Harry Straight to the point Guggenheim Youthful African Researchers),perceive arising African researchers concentrating on parts of viciousness on or straightforwardly connected with the African, landmass.
Like clockwork, the Establishment chooses a partner of Harry Candid Guggenheim African Colleagues.
Roughly twelve arising researchers are perceived for projects decided to be of great and
intently pertinent to the Establishment’s advantage in brutality.

The Foundation welcomes proposals for the African Fellow Awards from any of the social and natural
sciences or allied disciplines that promise to increase understanding of the causes, manifestations, and
control of violence and aggression. Highest priority is given to research that can increase understanding
and amelioration of urgent problems of violence and aggression in the modern world. The proposed
project must relate directly to the African continent.

Areas of Interest:

The Foundation is interested in violence related to many subjects, including, but not limited to, the
following:

  • War
  • Crime
  • Terrorism
  • Family and intimate-partner relationships
  • Climate instability and natural resource competition
  • Racial, ethnic, and religious conflict
  • Political extremism and nationalism
    The Foundation supports research that investigates the basic mechanisms in the production of violence,
    but primacy is given to proposals that make a compelling case for the relevance of potential findings for
    policies intended to reduce these ills. Likewise, historical research is considered to the extent that it is
    relevant to a current situation of violence. Examinations of the effects of violence are appropriate for a
    proposal only if a strong case can be made that these outcomes serve, in turn, as causes of future
    violence.

Fellowship:

Fellowships are offered to individual scholars for a period of two years. The African Fellow Awards include:

  • an in-person methods workshop on the African continent
  • fieldwork research grants of $10,000 each
  • mentoring from senior African and Africanist scholars
  • sponsorship at an international conference to present research findings, and
  • editorial and publication assistance through a writing workshop geared to
  • support and prepare scholars to write for and submit to international peerreviewed journals and other outlets for their research
