McDonnell (James S.) Foundation - 21st Century Collaborative Activity Awards--Bridging Mind, Brain, and Behavior [54740]
Synopsis: The sponsor provides support to initiate interdisciplinary discussions on problems or issues, to help launch interdisciplinary research networks, or to fund communities of researchers/practitioners dedicated to developing new methods, tools, and applications of basic research to applied problems.
Objectives: This program supports research studying how neural systems are linked to and support cognitive functions and how cognitive systems are related to an organism’s (preferably human) observable behavior. The program is intended to help investigators pursue experiments designed to answer well-articulated questions. Aspects of proposals appropriate to the JSMF BMB program would include, but are not limited to: characterizing the cognitive operations involved in performing a task; studying how the brain extracts and uses relevant information from complicated environments; examining how manipulations and/or perturbations at one spatial or temporal scale are meaningful at finer or coarser levels of organization (e.g. does a synaptic change account for a change in network function and vice versa?); re-examining ‘common wisdom’ assumptions (such as the existence of critical periods in human learning); evaluating the usefulness of methodologies or improving the usefulness of methodologies commonly used in mind/brain research; and/or applying approaches and knowledge from cognitive psychology or cognitive science to important problems in education, training, or rehabilitation.

Sage (Russell) Foundation - Small Grants Program in Behavioral Economics [68370]
Synopsis: The sponsor supports a small grants research program to support high quality research in behavioral economics and to encourage young investigators to enter this developing field. Grant awards may be a maximum of $5,000.
Objectives: The sponsor supports a small grants research program to support high quality research in behavioral economics and to encourage young investigators to enter this developing field. The proposed research may address any economic topic. Behavioral approaches will be construed broadly to include any research that explores the economic implications of the psychological principles underlying observable human behavior.

Foundation for the Scientific Study of Sexuality - Grants-in-Aid  [70189]
Synopsis: The sponsor provides up to $1000 (per grant) to support scientific sexuality research in areas not likely to receive support from other sources. The money may be used for either a small project that could be completed with the help of the grant or as part of a larger study that might ultimately be funded from other sources.
Objectives: The sponsor provides up to $1000 (per grant) to support scientific sexuality research in areas not likely to receive support from other sources. The sponsor especially encourages proposals involving: uniquely timely research opportunities; new investigators; volunteer research teams; and actual, not pilot projects.
