Event details
| Date | 30.09.2021 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: This initiative seeks to establish a practical and scalable understanding of how to honor people’s privacy with consideration to the different contexts in which people experience and or use our products. As such, Facebook research wants to empower academic experts to broaden and deepen our collective knowledge of global privacy expectations and experiences.
Applications are sought from across the social sciences and technical disciplines, including but not limited to disciplines such as anthropology, communications, computer science, economics, engineering, human-computer interaction, human factors, political science, social psychology, and sociology. Most notably, applications that are interdisciplinary and seek collaboration across fields are particularly welcome. Applicants from diverse backgrounds and those with expertise in specific countries, cultures, or vulnerable populations, including those that have not previously been examined in relation to privacy, are especially encouraged to apply. Research methodologies that use qualitative, quantitative, ethnographic, and/or mixed method approaches are all welcome.
To foster further innovation in this area and to deepen our collaboration with academia, Facebook is pleased to invite faculty to respond to this call for research proposals pertaining to the aforementioned topics. They anticipate awarding a total of 4–5 awards, each in the $100,000 range. Payment will be made to the proposer’s host university as an unrestricted gift.
Funding: ~ USD $100’000
Eligibility: Applicants must be current full-time faculty.
How to Apply: Proposals should include a summary of the project (1–2 pages), a draft budget description (1 page), CVs for all project participants, and organization details; see the Research Office for assistance on this last point. Ideally proposals submitted are single-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pt font.
Note that Facebook will not be required to treat any part of a proposal as confidential or protected by copyright.
Deadline: 30 September 2021 (5:00 pm AOE)
