About this opportunity
The CLACS Tinker Field Research Grant supports master's, doctoral, and professional school students conducting preliminary (early career) exploratory field research in Latin America and the Caribbean. The grant is designed for students in the preliminary stages of graduate study with little or no previous field experience. Students are required to travel for a minimum of 2 weeks and may travel for up to 4 months. The Tinker Field Research Grants are primarily intended to support transportation (international airfare and in-country travel such as bus, taxi, train, flights, and car rentals), lodging, and food, with some minor direct research expenses allowed. This program is funded with the generous support of the Tinker Foundation and is open to University of Chicago students from all divisions and professional schools who have not yet defended their dissertation proposals.
