2023 Sabbatical grant for researchers

The Louisville Institute is now accepting applications for the 2023 Sabbatical Grant for Researchers (SGR) program, which offers sabbatical grants up to $40,000. SGR supports research projects about:

• Christian faith and life
• the practice of ministry
• religious trends and movements 
• Christian and other faith-based institutions
• religion and social issues

Sabbatical projects may be rooted in varied fields such as history, systematic and practical theology, social sciences, ethics, biblical studies, etc., or may be interdisciplinary in nature. Of particular interest to the Louisville Institute are projects with the potential to generate new knowledge that enriches the life of the church in North America.
