UREAG Call for Travel Grant Applications

We would like to invite you to submit applications for the Travel Grant Award. All UREAG members whose proposal was accepted are eligible to apply to the grant. See guidelines below:

In line with CIES's mission of global participation, the UREAG travel grant is designed to recognize efforts of students and scholars from under-represented ethnic and ability groups who need support for travel to the CIES conference to present the results of scholarly research. This travel grant is generously funded by the CIES Secretariat. UREAG supports grants ranging from $250-$400 each. UREAG travel grants are awarded based on the quality of the application, institutional representation, and attention to diversity. Special consideration is given to applicants traveling from outside North America.

A. Instructions for Application

You should be a member of UREAG in order to submit an application. Membership is free. To become a member, send an email to UREAG secretary Ana Solano, to atsolan@emory.edu
