Ginsberg Undergraduate Grant Application
Ted and Cora Ginsberg Undergraduate Research Grant
Ginsberg Grant Application 2012
Application due date: Friday, April 13, 2012 by 5pm for summer research and ongoing for academic year research.
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 an application coversheet (see link above), 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 do not need to submit a proposal with their cover sheet. Instead, provide a budget and a brief description of how the funds will support your honors project to the Director of Honors.
