Summary
Grant Overview
Global Research on Anti-Semitism Trends
In a world increasingly defined by its complexities, understanding the nuances of anti-Semitism through rigorous research is imperative. Funding in this domain targets comprehensive projects that analyze contemporary anti-Semitism trends and their implications on diverse communities worldwide. It encompasses studies employing advanced data analytics and cross-national surveys, focusing on how anti-Semitic sentiments affect various demographics and what interventions can mitigate these issues. This funding spurs innovative methodologies to gather quantitative and qualitative data crucial for influencing public policy and societal attitudes towards Jewish communities.
Concrete use cases illustrate the potential of such funding: One example includes a collaborative project between universities in the UK and Israel that examines the rise of anti-Semitic incidents in online platforms. By investigating hate speech patterns and their correlates within different social media ecosystems, the research can inform targeted responses and prevention strategies. Another scenario might involve a comprehensive study conducted in various European countries that investigates the social and economic factors contributing to anti-Semitism, seeking to empower local governments with data-driven responses to these challenges.
Organizations focused on academic research, policy advocacy, or community engagement initiatives are ideal candidates for this funding. They must demonstrate a capacity for rigorous research methodologies and an established framework for disseminating actionable insights to stakeholders. However, organizations solely focused on direct service delivery or those lacking a solid research foundation may not be eligible for these grants.
Key alignment factors for applicants include the ability to conduct cross-national studies and collaboration with academic institutions or NGOs. Funded initiatives are particularly encouraged to adopt interdisciplinary approaches, integrating fields like sociology, psychology, and data science to enrich their analyses. Ultimately, the funding seeks to cultivate a comprehensive understanding of anti-Semitism that can galvanize data-driven strategies for intervention and education in affected communities.
Unlike general community development grants, this funding does not support direct service delivery programs focused solely on victim assistance, concentrating instead on system-level research initiatives that highlight and challenge contemporary anti-Semitism.
