Guidelines: CLACS Tinker Foundation Field Research Grants 2021-2022
Overview
The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at New York University invites NYU graduate students to apply for a Tinker Foundation Field Research Grant to conduct field research in Latin America and the Caribbean. Awards generally cover travel and related expenses; awards are generally between $1,000 to $3,000. These field research grants are intended for pre-dissertation or thesis field research by students at early-stage doctoral and master’s levels, or by those pursuing professional degrees. Students whose research was postponed by COVID-19 restrictions are especially encouraged to apply. CLACS Tinker Foundation Field Research Grants are available for field research conducted between December 15, 2021 and August 30, 2022 in the following countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
Rolling Deadline
For priority consideration, students should submit a complete application by November 14, 2021. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis thereafter until funds are expended.
