The Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Society is the recipient of a $3.2 million award.

The funds, from the John Templeton Foundation, will “establish an international grant initiative to support PPE research projects, host workshops for the award winners, and build an expansive catalog of research and teaching resources,” the PPE Society announced. The grant initiative “will primarily offer funding for teams of PPE scholars working together to address areas of pressing importance that call for, and will benefit substantially from, PPE research,” according to the Society’s website.

The Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Society is based at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and is directed by professor of philosophy Geoffrey Sayre-McCord.
