Facebook Offers Grants For Anti-Bullying Research
Educational institutions and non-profit organizations can apply for research grants from Facebook on the topic of bullying prevention. The deadline is next month and funds will be awarded in October.
Despite continued efforts to fight cyberbullying, the phenomenon rages on, so now Facebook is offering a $200,000 in grant money for groups to research bullying prevention.
Facebook announced this new grant during this week’s West Virginia Statewide Technology Conference.
The new program is being called “Digital Citizenship Research Grants,” and is open to non-profit organizations and educational institutions.
Individual grant amounts will range between $25,000 and $50,000, with a maximum of $200,000 awarded between all successful applicants.
The application deadline is just six weeks from the annoucement: September 12, 2011.
