The Social Science Research Council’s Just Tech program foregrounds questions about the public impact of new technologies, pursuing solutions that advance social, political, and economic rights. Through the Just Tech Fellowship and digital platform, the program creates a new research ecosystem that informs public policy and imagines futures where social and public interests drive technological change.
Just Tech is designed to bring together intellectual pioneers whose work challenges the boundaries of technological development. Through a “whole person” support model of unrestricted awards and supplementary funding, the fellowship provides the resources and space for collaboration and impactful work.
Fellows receive two-year awards of $100,000 annually, robust supplementary funding to subsidize additional expenses, and separate seed funding to collaborate with other Just Tech Fellows.
