Gender Institute Dissertation Fellowship (State/IFR)

This is a $20,000 grant to advanced doctoral students in all fields, who have passed their qualifying exams and exhausted the initial package of funding. It is awarded to students engaged in dissertation research related to women, gender, and/or sexuality. One fellowship will be awarded per year. The fellow will be required to participate in a monthly works-in-progress workshop at UB. The Gender Institute supports UB's nondiscrimination policy and welcomes both international and domestic students to apply. Selection criteria include evidence of the dissertation's scholarly quality and significance, relevance of the research to expanding our knowledge of women, gender, and/or sexuality, and the applicant's academic accomplishments to date and promise of future scholarly productivity.
