The Division of the
Social Sciences is offering project-based research grants for academic year
2013-14, beginning with the summer quarter. The grants will support two
categories of research projects: short-term projects for up to 3 months, and
long-term projects for 3-12 months, concluding no later than the end of Spring
Quarter 2014.
Deadline: Friday, April
26, 2013
Amount:

$7000-$20,000. Up to 10 grants will be awarded
Duration:
Short-term project: 3
months
Long-term projects: up to
12 months
Purpose:
These grants are intended
to help defray the additional costs of research projects that advance the
student's progress through the degree program. All students in the division are
eligible, but preference will be given to research that supports a proposal for
a dissertation, or that is part of the dissertation project after admission to
candidacy. The level of the grant will be contingent on the itemized costs in
the proposal. For students who hold fellowships during the grant period, living
expenses will not be covered under this grant unless the research will take the
student far from campus and thereby add living expenses to the cost of the
project. Awardees will submit a brief report upon completion of their research grant.

the Dean of Students Office:
1. The Research Grant
