Center for the Study of Women (UCLA): Funding Opportunities

The information below is from the 2022 request for proposals. Please see the opportunity website for updated information. 

The Center for the Study of Women offers two type of funding for faculty research:

• Faculty Research Grants Program: Grants available to all UCLA ladder faculty for research development, new project development that may lead to external funding opportunities through CSW, and project completion that could be considered for CSW publications (policy briefs, research reports). Preference will be given to junior faculty and projects that link to CSW’s current research projects (for example, Chemical Entanglements, Gender and Water, Feminist Anti-Carceral Studies, Sexual Violence and Intersectionality). 
• Research Excellence Awards Program: The Center for the Study of Women and Institute of American Cultures established the joint Research Excellence Award for UCLA Associate Professors in January 2017. This Award consists of a monograph manuscript (or equivalent) workshop organized by CSW-IAC to promote continuing excellence in scholarship by UCLA professors at the associate level addressing questions important to the fields of critical race and postcolonial studies and/or gender, sexuality, and ethnic studies. Candidates for the award must be nominated by a fellow faculty member (inside or outside of UCLA) committed to co-organizing the workshop alongside the CSW-IAC selection committee and staff.
