Collaborative Grants: Honorable Mentions
SSRC Collaborative 'Large Grants' have been extremely competitive, with applicant to grant ratios of around 7 to 1. Each round sees a number of excellent proposals that can't be funded due to our limited resources.
Following the announcement of the June 2008 large grant recipients, we want to draw attention to a number of these excellent projects in the hope that they will find success and well-deserved support.
