Social Science Research Council

With support from the Ford Foundation, the SSRC has sponsored the annual Sexuality Research Fellowship Program (SRFP) competition since September 1995. The SRFP has funded 153 fellows, 102 dissertation and 51 postdoctoral fellows from an extensive list of affiliated institutions. The program has also supported over 130 scholars in the capacity of mentors.

In recognition of its 10th and final year of providing fellowship support, the SRFP has awarded postdoctoral fellowships to outstanding scholars and other professionals working in a variety of settings, whose research in sexuality focuses on policy analysis, policy development and/or implementation that is relevant to local, state, or national concerns.

The SRFP seeks to promote research collaboration, strengthen research networks and encourage wide dissemination of research findings. With the 2005-2006 SRFP Fellowships on Sexuality and Policy, the SRFP endeavors to forge new links between sexuality research and policy arenas; promote research efforts designed to ensure effective application of sexuality research to local, state, and national policy issues; endorse an increased inclusion of sexuality issues in current policy work; and encourage researchers to engage in meaningful research on policy-related issues as an integral part of their professional and academic careers.

The application deadline has passed. No further SRFP fellowships will be awarded.
