The Center for Liberation, Anti-Racism, and Belonging (C-LAB) is excited to announce our 2024-2025 call for proposals. All applications are due August 30, 2024 on InfoReady: https://ucihumanities.infoready4.com/#
Launched in the fall of 2022, C-LAB seeks to foster research that analyzes race, Indigeneity, and migration. We seek to support initiatives that identify research questions, explore methodologies and experiments with diverse publication dissemination methods that bring attention to and work towards social justice. The following opportunities are designed to foster research communities focused on advancing research justice through collaboration.
C-LAB is based in the School of Humanities with funding support from the Office of Research and the Schools of Biological Sciences, Education, Law, Medicine, Physical Sciences, Public Health, Social Ecology, and Social Sciences. We welcome proposals from across the UCI campus.
Funding Opportunities:
C-LAB Faculty and Graduate Student Fellowship: $7,500
This fellowship aims to cultivate and support a cohort of scholars advancing social justice through their research questions, innovative methodologies, and/or diverse publication dissemination methods. Selected fellows will participate in and present their work-in-progress at a monthly brown-bag seminar.
Collaborative Project Grant: up to $20,000
This grant aims to encourage the development of justice-oriented and publicly-engaged research communities. The Principal Investigator must be a UCI tenure-track faculty member; however, collaborative teams are encouraged and are evaluated favorably when they span disciplines and academic ranks (e.g. different professorial ranks, gradaute students, undergraduate students) or include community partners.
Submission
All proposals deadlines are Friday, August 30, at 11:59 pm. Applicants will be notified by mid-September. Projects can begin fall quarter 2024.
