Dear All,

The UCLA Center for the Study of Women (CSW) is accepting applications for our annual Faculty Development Grants.  Grants will be awarded for AY 2009-10 to UCLA faculty for the support of research projects concerning gender, sexuality and/or women’s issues.

The Faculty Development Grants are divided into three categories: the Junior Faculty Research Development Grants for the completion of pre-tenure research projects and publications; the Faculty Research Seed Grants for the development of new projects that may lead to external funding opportunities through CSW; and the Faculty Research Completion Grants for projects that could be considered for CSW publications such as policy briefs or research reports.

The number and amount of the awards will depend on funding, possibly resulting in fewer and smaller awards than those given in the past.

To find additional information about the Faculty Development Grants, please visit our website at www.csw.ucla.edu/ffunding_development.html. To apply, follow the detailed guidelines and complete the required application materials.  The deadline is Thursday, April 16 at 5:30 PM.

Please distribute this announcement of the CSW Faculty Development Grants. We encourage all qualified faculty to apply.

All the very best,

Kathleen McHugh                                                      April de Stefano, Ph.D.
