There is a call for Applications for funding from Purdue University's (USA) Institute for Information Literacy, with US $4,000 Research Grants available for five suuccessful applicants. The application deadline is 15 July 2022. "With generous funding from Bob and Judy Brady, the Institute for Information Literacy at Purdue (hereinafter referred to as the Institute) invites applications for a two-year research funding program. The Institute will fund research projects that examine complex information challenges within select contexts and aim to develop or enhance information literacy models that enable people to successfully navigate and contribute to today's information environment....
The Institute will support and share innovative, community- or context-specific information literacy research (i.e. healthcare, social media, publishing). As information literacy is interdisciplinary by nature, projects that demonstrate a substantive collaboration between research from different fields (such as psychology or political science and information studies) will be prioritized for funding. Information Literacy research and practice largely focuses on students in educational settings.
The Institute seeks to expand knowledge around information literacy within a range of settings; therefore, priority will be given to projects that focus on effective information practices applied in a range of contexts and communities."
Any information literacy researchers, including current students or post-docs, can apply. Applications will be reviewed July–August 2022. Funding will be awarded in September 2022.
