2009 Annual Call for Research Grant Proposals
For Faculty, Academic Staff and Graduate Students
The UC Davis Chicana/Latina Research Center (C/LRC) fosters the development of Chicana/Latina scholars and scholarship on Chicana/Latina topics. The C/LRC is accepting proposals from UCD faculty, academic staff, graduate students and undergraduates to support ongoing research related to Chicanas/Latinas in the United States. We will also consider comparative studies of Chicanas/Latinas and indigenous women in the United States, including "Latina" indigenous immigrant communities. Research with a focus on transnational issues within the Americas will also be considered.
The proposals should be for research-related expenses such as travel (to archives, or for oral interviews and other fieldwork), student research assistance, telephone (e.g., phone interviews), transcription costs, duplication costs.
The maximum award for a grant is $2,000. Funds must be utilized by June 30, 2010. Any unused funds must be returned to the C/LRC. A narrative report and budget confirmation of funds spent are due immediately upon project completion.
