Lesbian and Gay Studies grants
The Lesbian and Gay Studies Committee at Yale administers a special fund for the purpose of aiding undergraduate, graduate or professional students and faculty members in the preparation of senior essays, dissertations, books and papers in any area of gay and lesbian studies.
Grants, ranging from $500 to $5,000, are made in support of projected research or publication, and they are not intended to provide reimbursement for expenses already incurred. Purposes for which funding may be sought include, but are not limited to, such items as travel to inspect primary-source materials or to conduct interviews; and acquisition of inaccessible books, microfilms or other materials. Applicants who seek additional funding for a previously supported project are expected to state how the monies already received have been used and to justify the continuation of support.
Applications should be sent to Jonathan D. Katz, Yale University, Larry Kramer Initiative for Lesbian and Gay Studies, 100 Wall Street, WLH 311, P.O. Box 208334, New Haven CT 06520-8334 by Jan. 6 or March 31. Applications should include a description of the work for which funding is needed on not more than four double-spaced pages; a budget and description of the need for support, including the description of any other kinds of financial support solicited for the project; and the names of two persons who have been asked by the applicant for recommendation; these individuals should send a letter supporting the project and the ability of the applicant to carry it out successfully and in a timely manner to the address above by the same deadline.
Any questions may be e-mailed to lgs@yale.edu or addressed to the office of the committee at the above address. Announcement of the awards from the fund will be made about two weeks after the application deadline.
