The John Templeton Foundation and the Center for Religion and Civic Culture at the University of Southern California have put out a request for proposals, to provide grants for centers and individual scholars to conduct social science research on Pentecostal and charismatic Christianity in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Soviet Union:
The Pentecostal and Charismatic Research Initiative (PCRI) will provide up to $3.5 million to support social science research on Pentecostalism and charismatic expressions of Christianity. PCRI will select and award up to seven grants to regional centers and fifteen grants to individual scholars or small research teams. Funded by the John Templeton Foundation and administered by the Center for Religion and Civic Culture at the University of Southern California, this initiative is intended to provide a scholarly framework to investigate Pentecostalism and the various renewal movements that have emerged in Roman Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and mainline Protestantism.
