How to
Submit a Proposal The Institute for Scientific Analysis (ISA) is looking for social science
researchers to conduct innovative research projects. If you are a social scientist with
research experience and a doctoral degree in one of the major social science disciplines,
you are welcome to submit a proposal package to ISA. The proposal package should include
the following:

brief cover letter explaining how you heard about ISA, why ISA is the appropriate setting
for your proposed project, what current institutional and professional affiliations you
hold, and what your commitment to the proposed project will be; |
| • |
an
up-to-date curriculum vitae or resume indicating all relevant research, writing, and
academic experience; |

a
concise concept letter containing the following: |
- a brief description of the
proposed project;
- a discussion of the ways in which
the proposed project will contribute to existing research in the field;
- an explanation of the relevance of
your experience and training to the proposed research area;
- an outline of proposed methods for
data collection and analysis.
Each proposal package will be
evaluated on the basis of researcher qualifications and experience, project feasibility,
conformity to ISA research interests, and fundability. All submissions will be
acknowledged. Researchers whose proposals match ISA’s criteria and interests will be
invited to develop and submit a grant proposal with consultation from ISA’s research
staff. Some proposals may warrant suggestions for revision and re-submission.
