The Foundation awards research grants to support distinguished and emerging scholars studying urgent matters of violence in the United States and around the world. They likewise conduct and commission original research and publish relevant research and policy reports. They host conferences, research seminars, and public conversations on topics of violence, often in collaboration with peers in academia, philanthropy, and civil society.

The Foundation does not accept unsolicited requests for support.

In 1929, Harry Frank Guggenheim (1890-1971), a business leader, diplomat, and newspaper publisher created the Foundation for general philanthropic purposes. Some 30 years later, Mr. Guggenheim centered the Foundation’s work on problems of violence, believing that humanity had failed to match its progress in science, technology, medicine, and industry with similar improvements in human relations.

The Foundation prioritizes research addressing urgent, contemporary problems of violence — what produces it, how it operates, and what works to prevent or reduce it. Problems that particularly interest the Foundation concern violence and aggression in relation to a number of subjects, including:

  • War
  • Terrorism
  • Crime
  • Family and intimate partner relationships
  • Climate instability and natural resource competition
  • Racial, ethnic, and religious conflict
  • Political extremism and nationalism

The Foundation’s work is advanced through research grants and fellowships, reports and policy briefs, and convenings. Signature programs include:

  • The Harry Frank Guggenheim Distinguished Scholars
  • The Harry Frank Guggenheim Emerging Scholars
  • The Harry Frank Guggenheim African Fellows
  • The Harry Frank Guggenheim Distinguished Fellow of Practice
  • The Harry Frank Guggenheim Research Fellow at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge

Through its research activities, The Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation supports work in the social and natural sciences and aligned disciplines to increase understanding of the causes, manifestations, and control of violence in the contemporary world.

Usually, this means that fieldwork or other research is complete and writing has begun or will at the beginning of the award period. If analysis and writing are not far enough along for an applicant to be confident that the dissertation will be completed within the award year, an application should not be submitted.
