OBJECTIVES:
  The sponsor provides support for scientific research in 
social problem areas related to the basic interests and 
goals of the sponsor and particularly those that are not 
likely to receive support from traditional sources.  The 
sponsor especially encourages proposals involving unique 
and timely research opportunities, underrepresented 
institutions, new investigators, volunteer research teams, 
and actual (not pilot) projects.

ELIGIBILITY
  Applicants must be members of SPSSI. Applicants may 
submit only one application per deadline. If an applicant 
has applied to the Clara Mayo Grant in the same award year 
(July 1 – June 30), she or he is not
eligible to apply for GIA. Individuals may submit a joint 
application.

FUNDING
  Funding up to $1,000 is available for graduate student 
research, with strong preference given to applications 
from students at the dissertation stage of the graduate 
career.  Such proposals must be
accompanied by an appropriate official university 
agreement to match the amount requested.  This matching 
requirement will not be waived for institutions that have 
adopted a policy of not providing matching
funds to support graduate student research.  Funding up to 
$2,000 is available for research by SPSSI members who 
already have a Ph.D.  In exceptional circumstances the 
amount may exceed $2,000.  The usual grant from the 
sponsor is for up to $2,000 for post-doctoral work and up 
to $1,000 for pre-doctoral work.
