The Horowitz Foundation Grants support PhD or DrPH candidates conducting research with direct social policy applications. The program offers merit-based grants of $7,500, with an initial payment of $5,000 and a final installment of $2,500 upon project completion. The foundation prioritizes projects addressing contemporary social science issues and encourages applicants whose work can inform policy decisions.

Open to PhD or DrPH candidates in social sciences or related fields. Applicants must be enrolled in a recognized institution and working on a dissertation with clear social policy relevance. There are no income or marks-based restrictions; selection is based solely on the quality and impact of the proposed research.

Submit a research proposal, curriculum vitae, and two letters of recommendation through the official application portal listed on the foundation’s website. Ensure the proposal clearly demonstrates the project’s social policy application. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.
