DOCTORAL STUDENT RESEARCH GRANT (this is a pretty easy grant to get from the Graduate Center!)
The mission of the Doctoral Student Research Grant (DSRG) program is to foster a research-oriented academic culture among doctoral students at CUNY Graduate Center by: (a) providing incentives for students to model and meet, early in their careers, the requirements for succeeding in the competition for funds by clearly defining a problem, a project, and a realistic budget; (b) providing an occasion for faculty-student mentoring relationships that are oriented around the concrete problems of proposing, planning for, and executing research; and (c) furthering student professional progress by providing funds for pre-doctoral research publications, presentations, and professional networking.
Individual Awards of up to $1,500 were available for Competition #7 (Feb. 1, 2012 to Jan. 31, 2013) and this level of funding is anticipated for Competition #8, as well.
The deadline for submitting proposals for Competition #8 will be 12:00 noon on January 31, 2013. Awardees will be able to spend their funds between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014. View guidelines here.
