The Center for Culture, History, and Environment (CHE) invites applications for Research & Travel Awards.
Applicants may request funds in support of research/travel essential to the completion of a student’s MA/MS thesis, PhD dissertation, or peer-reviewed publication. Awards of up to $2,800 are available to CHE graduate associates enrolled in a UW-Madison PhD program. Awards of up to $1,400 are available to CHE graduate associates enrolled in a UW–Madison MA/MS program.
CHE’s mission is to deepen understanding of the changing relationship between people and the environment over time. Applicants should demonstrate the ways in which their research is relevant to this mission.
Evaluation criteria will include the following:
- The alignment of the project to CHE’s mission
- The quality of the proposal and potential significance of the project
- The candidate’s level and degree of engagement with CHE activities (e.g., service on the Graduate Associate Organizing Committee or the Edge Effects board; presentation at a CHE colloquium; participation in multiple events).
Note: Equal weight in evaluation will be placed on your involvement with CHE and the quality of your proposed research.
Eligibility Criteria
All graduate associates (MS/MA/PhD) of the Center for Culture, History, and Environment (CHE) are eligible to apply.
