The DOE's Office of Science is announcing $31 M for 42 projects to build research capacity, infrastructure, and expertise at academic institutions across the country. Through the Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research (FAIR) initiative, we are bringing new performers, including Minority Serving Institutions and Emerging Research Institutions, into the Office of Science research portfolio. Congratulations to the awardees! https://lnkd.in/gbuWTMhY
Fantastic initiative, and a real pleasure to be part of it. Hearing about the experiences of other centres across the globe makes clear how important but also how incredibly fragile the whole field is: most centres lack robust infrastructure support and investment, making it difficult to run and maintain activities and, especially, to build and secure the next generation(s) of scholars in the area. For example, for any PhD student we would like to support at the Centre for the Study of Philanthropy & Public Good, we need to find and secure a total funding of around £75,000-£120,000. Thereafter, to fund a single postdoctoral position one is looking at a minimum of £50,000 per annum (including National Insurance, pension, in costs, etc.) that need to be raised. Then, in the absence of any permanent positions in the area over here, all that investment, time, support, and the expertise that has been built over that period, currently often do not even benefit the Scottish (and at times European) philanthropy research field as early career colleagues are faced with an infinitesimally small number of national and international opportunities that might arise but, more likely than not, do not, leading to exits and brain drain from the field in general. So, assuming that one considers the field and its contributions to be important, there is some real work to be done about making it more sustainable in general, but also more attractive and accessible for younger researchers... Just some of the many issues that will need to be explored as part of our forthcoming workshop series “Together for Good: crafting Scotland’s philanthropic journey” - https://lnkd.in/e5tXgmZR
Brain trust! Nearly 40 directors of research centers from as many global locations gathered in Antwerp yesterday, as part of an ongoing network-building initiative of the Rockefeller Archive Center (RAC) and the International Society for Third Sector Research (ISTR). RAC Director of Research & Engagement Barbara Shubinski facilitated the day's meetings, along with the support of Associate Director for Research & Engagement Rachel Wimpee PhD. Thank you to meeting co-organizers, ISTR executive director Margery Daniels, and ISTR director of programs (and soon to be executive director) Megan Haddock!
In the blog "Iron Man, Childhood and Hormones", our former visiting fellow Professor Magdalena Radkowska-Walkowicz reflects on her fascinating research on congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) from a social science perspective. 🦸♂️ 💊 From exploring medical, gender, and ethical aspects to discussing the experiences of children with CAH, her work sheds light on this rare condition through an anthropological lens.

Seven years ago, Oxford University Press published its first Oxford Handbook of Compassion Science. In the intervening period, interest in the topic has continued to grow with additional research centers dedicated to the topic, and thousands of additional published articles. So, has the time come to reframe and recalibrate where we go with compassion science? Authors Lynne Reeder of Federation University Australia and Marcela Matos of the University of Coimbra certainly believe so, and in service to the entire community, they "felt it was important to revisit this comprehensive guide and for it to be the basis for identifying future research directions in compassion science."

It was instructive yesterday to attend, at the Vieille Charité, the first seminar of the new Research Laboratory created in Marseille, CeRCLEs (Centre de recherche sur les circulations, les liens et les échanges - Centre for Research on Circulation, Links and Exchanges). There I presented my EHESS-funded project to reconstruct the sources and potential of a transformative paradigm and understanding of democratic modernity. The CeRCLEs laboratory aims to be "a place for methodological and epistemological experimentation through collective surveys and seminars to reflect on the work in progress, built around issues of circulation that are both empirical and conceptual" (https://lnkd.in/d6n8H9eQ).

https://conta.cc/3WWXjCX Taking that first step toward decolonizing research! CRESTSprogram has effectively created a model for research engagement wherein community stakeholders and professional researchers are horizontal in their relationship. True community! Better outcomes! Learning to become "Truthbearers!"

What does it mean to be a transdisciplinary practitioner in a global polycrisis. The McEachran Institute is exploring this question with collaborators in the Caribbean, South America , the USA and UK.
What would you ask an alien? 👽 At AIA, Dr. Chelsea Haramia is leading groundbreaking research on how humanity should respond to the discovery of extraterrestrial life or technology. 🌌 She emphasizes the importance of ethical, global planning, informed consent, and inclusive representation in post-detection scenarios. Her Dear E.T. project dives into what such a moment might mean for us all—and how we can prepare for it. As Dr. Haramia says: "It's important to study post-detection scenarios not just because scientists are likely to make the discovery, but because of the profound impact it would have on our world."
