[Poscgrad] *Reminder* Department Graduate Student Research Award 2022

[Sarah E Oatman]

Department Graduate Student Research Award
Deadline: April 1, 2022 at 5 pm

The Department is accepting proposals for research support awards of up to $1,500.  Students should prepare a 1-to-2 page proposal describing their project, how the funds would be beneficial to their research, and how the funds would be spent.  The funds may be used to pay either for a graduate student’s research stipend or for aspects of research, such as: travel to field sites or archives, purchasing data or other materials, hiring research assistance, copying, mailing, or other reasonable research expenses.  Students should submit their proposal, along with a budget sheet, as well as a timeline for the expenditure of the funds.  Funds will be expended and reported per university guidelines.

Please note that California State Law (Government Code Section 11139.8, enacted pursuant to AB 1887), effective January 1, 2017, prohibits state-funded travel to a state that has passed a law after June 26, 2015 that (1) authorizes discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, or (2) voids or repeals existing state or local protections against such discrimination.  For more information on travel restrictions relating to this law, please see https://oag.ca.gov/ab1887

Only students who have passed comprehensive exams are eligible for these funds. The Department is particularly interested in supporting dissertation research.  An ad-hoc faculty committee will select award winners.

Students are required to submit a one-page summary describing the results of their funding within thirty days of the completion date listed on their timeline.  Failure to do so will make them ineligible for discretionary department funding (e.g., conference travel).

Please submit applications electronically to Sarah Oatman no later than April 1, 2022, by 5 pm.
