The Russell Sage Foundation is an operation foundation directly involved in the conduct and dissemination of social science research. The foundation’s main research programs consist of : (1) A program of research on the Future of Work concerned with the causes and consequences of changes in the quality of low-wage work in advanced economies; (2) A program of research on current U.S. Immigration focused on the entry of immigrant families into the civic and political life of the country, and on immigrant experiences outside the traditional gateway cities; (3) A program on Cultural Contact that is investigating how well U.S. institutions are managing to respond to the growing diversity of the American population; (4) A program on Social Inequality, focused on the social effects of rising economic in equality, with particular attention to the ways in which the U.S. political and educational systems have responded to growing economic disparities. The foundation mainly provides support for analyzing data and writing up results, but it occasionally considers larger awards for data acquisition projects highly relevant to the foundation’s program goals.
