Resolution

The aim of the call was to support social science research projects that use quantitative survey data on childhood vulnerability factors in Portugal. Each selected project will receive up to 30,000 euros (including applicable taxes).

The selection process of the proposals received was conducted by academic experts linked to the field of social sciences. The projects were evaluated without the evaluators knowing the authorship or affiliation of the concurrent researchers.

The projects finally selected were as follows:

• Status Fit: Multi-level Mapping of Children’s Vulnerability to Social Class-Based Discrimination
  Leonor Pereira da Costa, Universidade Lusófona

• How is the behavior of others able of shaping our own? Community violence and children's misconduct
  Gilda Santos, Universidade do Porto

• Protecting the children’s right to live in a family: insights to recruit foster families in Portugal

• Protective Factors Against Antisocial Behavior in Socioeconomically Vulnerable Children and Youth
  Margarida Santos, Universidade do Porto

• Pain as a risk factor for vulnerability and social/educational development in children/adolescents

The following researchers participated in the selection process:
