special call for studies

We are soliciting study proposals that test the generalizability of phenomena related to John Templeton Foundation (JTF) strategic priorities, including: the dynamics of religious change, intellectual humility, religious cognition, and/or the science of character virtue, health, religion, and spirituality.

Each accepted study will: * Be supported with $40,000 of direct funding for data collection. * Receive additional support from 3 full time and 2 part time research staff. * Be advertised to prospective collaborators (e.g., data collection sites) in the PSA network.

For more information, see the full call for studies (https://psysciacc.org/news/2022-04-20_special-call-for-studies-studying-generalizability-with-global-samples.html) .
