About this grant
This grant provides continued support to the International Society for Third-Sector Research, a global membership association with nearly 700 members from over 85 countries that encourages, supports, and provides academic legitimacy to the study of the nonprofit sector around the world. Based at Johns Hopkins University, the society’s major accomplishments include convening eight biennial international research conferences; publishing special reports, conference working papers, and a scholarly journal; and convening regional meetings of research networks in Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Asia and the Pacific. In 2009-2010, activities will include organizing regional network meetings in Mexico, Taiwan, and Senegal; building research capacity in severely underserved and under-represented countries and regions; fostering an international network of directors of academic research centers focused on civil society; continuing to publish regular reports, newsletters, and a journal; and holding a biennial international conference in mid-2010 in Turkey.
