Dr. Sara Algoe, Associate Professor of Social Psychology, is the recipient of a 2021 John Templeton Foundation grant.
The John Templeton Foundation offers grants in support of research and public engagement in major funding areas. They invest in bold ideas from contrarian thinkers — ideas that cross disciplinary boundaries and challenge conventional assumptions and fund innovative programs that engage the public with these ideas, in an effort to open minds, deepen understanding, and inspire curiosity.
Dr. Algoe received a total award of over $1.6 million (over three years) for her project, “Validation and Unification of Love Measurement.”
