GRANTS-IN-AID from the ANTHROPOLOGY GRADUATE STUDENT FUND

The Department of Anthropology of Tulane University is pleased to announce a competition for grants-in-aid from The Anthropology Graduate Student Fund , which is an endowed fund in the Department of Anthropology. Income from this fund shall be used to provide grants-in-aid to Tulane University anthropology graduate students for research, travel, and similar activities. Support from the Anthropology Graduate Student Fund will be given preferentially to students who propose to conduct research in areas outside Latin America because other Tulane University funds are regularly available for graduate students who are interested in pursuing research in Latin America . The faculty of the department as a whole shall determine, at the time of each competition, the number of students to be supported and the size of each grant-in-aid.

Applications for grants to support eligible research during the summer of 2005 are hereby invited from anthropology graduate students. Applications should be made in writing and should include a research design or other description of the proposed use of the funds requested (not to number more than five double-spaced pages), timetable of proposed activities, and an itemized budget showing how requested funds would be spent. Applications should be addressed to the Anthropology Graduate Student Fund Awards Committee, c/o Susan Chevalier, Administrative Secretary, Department of Anthropology, Tulane University . The deadline for receipt of applications is 4:00 p.m. , Wednesday, March 16, 2005 .

If you are applying for a Tinker and Stone Center Summer Research Grant through Latin American Studies, you must submit a copy of the proposal to Victoria Bricker along with your Grants-In-Aid proposal by March 16, 2005 as well.
