research grants for non-students.

I'll be graduating in a week and moving back home for my gap year. A prof of mine is willing to sponsor an individual research project. Does anyone know of any resarch grants that arent specified for undergrads or graduate students? Its not necessary for my research to take off but it would be awesome to even get a little bit. My topic is on self-identity and multiracial/multiethnic individuals. Thanks!

Sorry, when you say "sponsor" do you mean "pay for" or just supervise? So you're looking for some independent funding? The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues offers small grants that sound appropriate for your topic but I don't know whether they require one to be a student.

Ah...yeah I meant supervise. >_<

Thanks I will take a look.
