2025 Institutional Courage Research Grants - Call for Proposals

Dear Friends of Courage,

The Center for Institutional Courage is pleased to announce the 2025 Institutional Courage Research Grant. The goal of this grant program is to fund research on institutional courage and institutional betrayal, with a particular interest in funding previously unstudied institutions and/or marginalized populations. Courage grants are made possible by the generous support of Courage’s donors and supporters.

Please see our Research Priorities , and list of previous grants funded , for current research questions that are high priority for Courage and examples of topics funded in prior cycles. This is not an exhaustive list, but rather provides some avenues for exploration that applicants might find useful to consider. We highly recommend applicants also review our Comprehensive Database of Studies on Institutional Betrayal & Courage as well as Published Research and Analysis Funded by the Center for Institutional Courage to learn more about what research has been published and gaps for further exploration.

Application instructions and more information can be found here. Please share and forward this announcement widely with friends, colleagues, or anyone who may be interested. The due date for application is May 1, 2025.

We look forward to receiving applications and reviewing proposals for transformative research.

All the best,

Jennifer Joy Freyd, PhD
Founder and President
