Overview

The Lewis Foundation Research Project Grant offers funding between $5,000 and $35,000 to support innovative research projects that enhance the understanding of interpersonal relationships. Priority is given to initiatives that foster collaboration among diverse professional disciplines and that focus on critical aspects of relationship dynamics and their implications for psychological and physical health. Educational programs that disseminate knowledge to the public and professionals are also encouraged.

Background
The Lewis Foundation provides grants in the range of $5,000–$35,000 to research projects that advance the science of interpersonal relationships. We like projects involving close collaboration between members of two or more professional disciplines. We do not support repeated annual funding or multi-grantor projects unless those funds are already in hand. However, we do support pilot projects that may lead to larger projects to be funded by others.
