CSGS Research/Travel Grant

The Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality (CSGS) at the University of Chicago offers research and travel grants to support student research and conference travel related to gender and sexuality studies. The program provides $500 for MA/BA students or $1,000 for PhD students for research/travel grants, with an additional Unfundable Fund offering up to $2,500 (available during Spring deadline only). The Unfundable Fund prioritizes humanistic areas of inquiry centered in gender and/or sexuality studies that are not easily fundable through existing grant mechanisms, including critical sexuality research, affect theory and aesthetics, hybrid artistic practice, or community-based research and engagement. Awarded funds can only be used toward expenses and travel as outlined in submitted proposals. Funds must be spent and receipts submitted for reimbursement by May 15th of the current year for Autumn or Winter awardees, while Spring awardees will likely be disbursed in the following fiscal year starting July 1.
