The Social Observatory of the ”la Caixa” Foundation announces the opening of a call for proposals to support research projects in the social sciences based on new quantitative research, with the aim of studying society as a whole, as well as the social impacts of a particular phenomenon.

Ojectives: 

• Research based on original, novel, meaningful and robust quantitative surveys. We seek proposals capable of generating data beyond existing data on socioeconomic variables.
• The subject of the survey is free, as long as it belongs to a discipline of the Social Sciences.
• The emphasis will be on selecting projects that offer the best methodological guarantees.
• The research should generate quantitative evidence. If desired, and if the survey format allows, complementary qualitative data can be collected. 
• The survey should be carried out on a representative sample of the population under study, and should cover as wide a territorial scope as possible.
• Data can be collected through a telephone, online or face-to-face survey. 
• The surveys should be carried out in collaboration with professional pollsters who, under the guidance of the research team, are able to guarantee the proper execution of the fieldwork.
• These investigations will have to make the full journey from hypotheses to conclusions in 12 months.

Eligibility:

• The call is open to proposals led by researchers of any nationality who conduct their activity at universities, research centres or private non-profit organisations engaged in research and based in Portugal.
