Ginsberg Undergraduate Grant Application

Ted and Cora Ginsberg Undergraduate Research Grant

Application due date: April 15 for summer research and ongoing for academic year research. Applications are available through this link.

The Ted and Cora Ginsberg grants support undergraduate political science research. The project must be student initiated and conducted with the collaboration of a Political Science faculty member. The research can occur during the summer or during an academic year and need not be conducted for credit. Interested students should approach a faculty member to discuss a potential project. Academic year funds can be used for travel to research venues and for expenses related to undertaking the research. Summer funds can also be used to cover living expenses during the period of research.

The proposal should include a coversheet, an informal transcript, and a 3-5 page description of the project that includes the research topic, the proposed research methodology (e.g. analysis of secondary literature, archival visits, field research, experimental research etc), a brief description of your background preparation for the research, including how you expect the research to further your intellectual development and political science education, and a budget.

Honors students should consult the Director of Honors before submitting an application as a full proposal may not be required.
