2013 Summer Research Grants

Graduate Student Summer Research Grants

Attention Graduate and Doctoral Students:

This year the Program on Latin America and the Caribbean (PLACA) of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs, in the Maxwell School of Syracuse University, announces it will grant awards to graduate students of up to $1,500 to support field research in Latin America and the Caribbean in the summer of 2013. The purpose of the award is to provide students the opportunity to gather preliminary data, make contacts, map topics, and increase competitiveness of future proposals for funding. The awards are competitive and proposals are judged on the basis of (i) quality of the proposed research, (ii) organization and thoughtfulness of the proposal, and (iii) appropriateness and feasibility of the research plan in relation to the student's background and qualifications. Any student enrolled in a MA or PhD program at Syracuse University may apply.
