Aim: In this request for proposals (RFP), Meta is offering awards to global social science researchers interested in exploring integrity issues related to social communication technologies. We will fund research proposals that aim to enrich our understanding of challenges related to integrity issues on social media and social technology platforms. Our goal for these awards is to support the growth of scientific knowledge in these spaces and to contribute to a shared understanding across the broader scientific community and technology industry on how social technology companies can better address integrity issues on their platforms. Research is not restricted to focusing on Meta apps and technologies.
These awards will be made as unrestricted gifts to allow investigators the freedom to deepen and extend their existing research portfolios to study the social impact of online interaction and information technologies.
Funding max. $100,000
Eligibility: Applicants must be current faculty at an accredited academic institution. Applicants must be the Principal Investigator on any resulting award.
How to Apply: Proposals should include a summary of the project (one to two pages), a draft budget, CVs for all project participants, and organization details; please contact the Research Office for assistance on organizational details if needed. When formulating the budget, note that research funds ideally cover the following: graduate or post-graduate students’ employment/tuition; other research costs; and travel associated with the research. Overhead of 5% should be included in the budget. Please note that information provided in the proposal will not be treated as confidential by Meta.
Deadline: 22 November 2022 (5:00pm AOE)
