award, open to anyone. Young investigators preferred.
1440
Awards
Now accepting online applications
Through a partnership with the 1440 Foundation, the Mind
& Life Institute is pleased to announce the Mind and Life 1440 Awards,
specifically geared toward the investigation of real-world (as opposed to
lab-based) outcomes of contemplative practice. These awards are intended to
promote research that evaluates whether and how contemplative practice can
promote inner well-being and healthy relationships, as well as the development
of new methods to assess these outcomes in everyday life. To date, the research
on contemplative practice has focused largely on exploring the effects of
meditation on the body and mind in a laboratory setting. The 1440 Awards are
offered to advance the field into real-world investigations of
contemplative techniques and practices in social and relational settings.
Grants of up to $15,000* will be awarded through a competitive application,
review, and selection process. In line with Mind and Life’s interdisciplinary
approach, this grant program encourages the active collaboration of scientists
with contemplative scholars/practitioners in all phases of research. By
enabling high-level research in the area of social and relational outcomes of
contemplative practice, the 1440 Awards aim to expand the applications and
impact of contemplative practices in the world.
For any questions about this award, please email 1440Awards@mindandlife.org

The 1440 Awards are
open to any academic researchers, although we seek to specifically promote the
careers and development of young investigators such as graduate students and
postdoctoral fellows.
