2026 Milgrom – Student and Post-Doc Research Initiative Grant

The Hymen Milgrom Supporting Organization (HMSO) is pleased to announce a fellowship funding opportunity for UChicago doctoral students and Post-docs. The HMSO seeks to expand its support to graduate students and post-docs and is soliciting proposal topics fostering the skills, dispositions, and experiences essential to prepare heterogeneous students for successful pathways into the modern labor market. The HMSO encourages developing projects relating to coding and computer skills, but funds projects across a broad spectrum of relevant disciplines and divisions. Projects should focus on the impact of the transitioning economy on youth from the southside of Chicago and on their evolving pathways to employment. The HMSO will offer up to 4 awards in this funding cycle for up to $10,000 for a one year period.
