Call for Dissertation Grant Proposals AERA Grants Program Seeks Proposals for Dissertation Grants

Deadline: May 30, 2024

With support from the National Science Foundation, the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Grants Program seeks proposals for Dissertation Grants. The AERA Grants Program provides advanced graduate students with research funding and professional development and training. The program supports highly competitive dissertation research using rigorous quantitative methods to examine large-scale, education-related data. The aim of the program is to advance fundamental knowledge of relevance to STEM education policy, foster significant science using education data, promote equity in STEM, and build research capacity in education and learning. Since 1991, this AERA Program has been vital to both research and training at early career stages.

The Grants Program encourages the use of major data sets from multiple and diverse sources. It emphasizes the advanced statistical analysis of data sets from the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and other federal agencies. The program also supports studies using large-scale international data systems (e.g., PISA, PIRLS, or TIMMS) that benefit from U.S. federal government support. In addition, statewide longitudinal administrative data systems (SLDS) enhanced through federal grants are also eligible for consideration. The inclusion of federal or state administrative information that further expands the analytic capacity of the research is permissible. The thrust of the analysis needs to be generalizable to a national, state, or population or a subgroup within the sample that the dataset represents.

The Grants Program is open to field-initiated research and welcomes proposals that:

develop or benefit from advanced statistical or innovative quantitative methods or measures;
analyze more than one large-scale national or international federally funded data set, or more than one statewide longitudinal data system (SLDS) or incorporate other data enhancements;
integrate, link, or blend multiple large-scale data sources; or
undertake replication research of major findings or major studies using large-scale, federally supported or enhanced data.

The Grants Program encourages proposals across the life span and contexts of education and learning of relevance to STEM policy and practice. The research may focus on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to such issues as student achievement in STEM, analysis of STEM education policies, contextual factors in education, educational participation and persistence (pre-kindergarten through graduate school), early childhood education and development, postsecondary education, and the STEM workforce and transitions. Studies that examine issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion across STEM topics and/or for specific racial and ethnic groups, social classes, genders, or persons with disabilities are encouraged.

Applicant Eligibility Dissertation Grants are available for advanced doctoral students and are intended to support the student while analyzing data and writing the doctoral dissertation. Proposals are encouraged from the full range of education research fields and other fields and disciplines engaged in education-related research, including economics, political science, psychology, sociology, demography, statistics, public policy, and psychometrics. Applicants for this one-year, non-renewable award should be advanced doctoral students at the dissertation writing stage, usually the last year of study. Applicants may be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents enrolled in a doctoral program. NonU.S. citizens enrolled in a doctoral program at an U.S. institution are also eligible to apply. Underrepresented racial and ethnic minority researchers as well as women, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.

Data Set Eligibility The dissertation research project must include the analysis of large-scale data. The data set can originate from one or multiple sources, including (1) federal data bases, (2) federally supported national studies, (3) international data sets supported by federal funds, or (4) statewide longitudinal administrative data systems (SLDS) enhanced through federal grants. Although the emphasis is on large-scale education data sets and systems, other social science and health-related databases that can advance knowledge about education and learning are eligible for consideration.

Many national data resources, including important longitudinal data sets, have been developed or funded by NCES, NSF, the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Census Bureau, the National Institutes of Health, or other federal agencies. International datasets such as PISA, PIAAC, TIMMS, and others are supported. If international data sets are used, the study must include U.S. education.

NCES has enhanced and improved SLDS through grants to nearly every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and America Samoa. This federal investment has produced state-level data from pre-K to grade 12, through higher education, and into the workforce. Many SLDS are available for analysis and can be used to address salient issues in education research or linked with other data sets.

Data Set Access The data set(s) of interest must be available for analysis at the time of application. Use of public or restricted-data files is permissible. Prior to receiving funding, students must provide documentation that they have permission to use the data for the research project. In many cases, graduate students will gain access to restricted files through a faculty member or senior scholar.

Data Sharing All data or data-related products produced under the AERA Grants Program must be shared and made available consonant with ethical standards for the conduct of research. Grantees are expected to place article-related data, [1] codebook or coding procedures, algorithms, code, and so forth in an accessible archive at the time of publication. Also, at a reasonable time after completion of the dissertation research, all data or data-related products must be archived at the AERA-ICPSR Data Sharing Repository supported by NSF and located at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at the University of Michigan. AERA provides guidance to facilitate the data sharing and archiving process.

Dissertation Grant Award

Award Component 1, $27,500 Stipend . AERA will award each grantee up to a $27,500 stipend to study education, teaching, learning, or other education research topics using one or multiple large-scale databases. The funds can be used for research-related expenses such as tuition, living expenses, travel to secure data enclaves or scholarly conferences, books, computer equipment, and other expenses directly related to conducting this research. As part of the proposal, applicants provide a budget that outlines anticipated research-related expenses. AERA encourages cost sharing from universities in the form of tuition assistance, office space, university fees, and other expenses. In accordance with AERA's agreement with NSF, institutions cannot charge overhead or indirect costs to administer the grant funds. In addition to the funding, grantees will be paired with a Governing Board member who will serve as a resource and provide advice and feedback to grantees and monitor grantees’ progress.

Award Component 2, AERA Research Conference. Grantees will participate in an AERA research conference held in Washington, DC. During this 2-day conference grantees will participate in seminar-type sessions on substantive, methodological, and professional issues. Also, they will have the opportunity to network and interact with the Grants Program Governing Board, senior scholars and researchers, other graduate students who use large-scale datasets in their research, and representatives from key federal agencies such as the National Center for Educational Statistics, the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Education. The award will cover all travel and lodging expenses for grantees to participate in the conference.

Award Component 3, AERA Annual Meeting Capstone Research Institute. Each spring AERA holds its Annual Meeting which brings together over 15,000 researchers, scholars, and policy leaders to present their research, share knowledge, and build research capacity through over 2,000 substantive sessions. Grantees will take a data analysis or appropriate methods course while attending the AERA Annual Meeting. The grantees will present their research in an invited poster session along with other graduate students who received dissertation support from AERA and other prestigious fellowship programs. Finally, grantees will participate in a Capstone conference directly after the Annual Meeting that will address issues such as building a research agenda, searching for a faculty appointment, and publishing research. Grantees must include travel and lodging expenses to the Annual Meeting in their budget.

Informational Webinar Applicants are encouraged to watch the informational webinar to learn more about the AERA Grants Program and discuss the application process..

Project Dates AERA is flexible on research project start dates, depending on what is best for the applicant. The earliest date a grant may start is approximately three months following the application deadline. Alternatively, an award start date several months or more after that may be requested.

Funding Restrictions Dissertation Grantees may not accept concurrent grant or fellowship awards from another agency, foundation, institution or the like for the same dissertation project that is funded by the AERA Grants Program. If the awardee is offered more than one major grant or fellowship for the same project for the same time period, in order to accept the AERA Grants Program Dissertation Grant, the other award(s) must be declined. Awardees may accept Research Assistant or Teaching Assistant appointments at their doctoral institutions and may have additional employment.

If the applicant is employed by a contractor of NCES, NSF, other federal agency, state agency, or other entity that provides the dataset proposed for the project, the dissertation research must not be considered part of the applicant's work responsibilities. An additional letter from the applicant's employer is required as part of the application submission, stating that the dissertation project is separate from the applicant's job duties. This letter must be sent electronically by the deadline to [email protected] .

Evaluation Criteria Evaluation criteria include the significance of the research question, the conceptual clarity and potential contribution of the proposal, the relevance to an important STEM education policy issue, the strength of the methodological model and proposed statistical analysis, and the applicant’s relevant research and academic experience. Additionally, the review criteria include the following: What is already known on the issue? How might this project inform STEM education policy? How does the methodology relate specifically to the research question? Does the applicant know the data set? Does the analytic plan fit the question and the data? How does this project promote equity in STEM education and learning? Is the applicant qualified to carry out the proposed study? Reviewers will be members of the AERA Grants Program Governing Board. Due to the large volume of applications received, the AERA Grants Program is unable to provide individual feedback on unfunded proposals.

Reporting Requirements Dissertation Grantees will be required to submit a brief (3-6 pages) progress report midway through the grant period. A final report will be submitted at the end of the grant period. The final report consists of an extended dissertation abstract (3-6 pages), a statement of research dissemination and communication activities and plans (1-3 pages), and the complete approved dissertation. It should be submitted electronically to [email protected] . All reporting requirements and deadlines are outlined in the award letter.

Funding Disbursement Funding will be linked to the approval of the progress report and final report. Grantees will receive one-half of the total award at the beginning of the grant period, one-quarter upon approval of the progress report, and one-quarter upon approval of the final report. Grants are awarded through the grantee’s institution. In accordance with AERA's agreement with NSF, institutions cannot charge overhead or indirect costs to administer the grant funds.

Considerations in the Development of the Proposal Applicants are strongly encouraged to read Estimating Causal Effects: Using Experimental and Observational Designs , by Barbara Schneider, Martin Carnoy, Jeremy Kilpatrick, William H. Schmidt, and Richard J. Shavelson prior to submitting a dissertation grant proposal. Selection bias is a recurring issue during the review process and should be addressed in the proposal.

Applicants should choose research topics that can be supported by the samples and variables contained in the proposed data set(s). Applicants should also be familiar with the User Guides and/or Manuals (e.g., use of design weights and design effects) of the specific data sets. Applicants should be familiar with statistical methods and available computer programs that allow for sophisticated analyses of the selected data.

Applicants should explicitly address the curricular content when it applies. Applicants are encouraged to capitalize on the capacity of large-scale data sets to examine diverse populations, including racial, ethnic, social class, and gender groups. Studies are encouraged that promote or inform diversity, equity, and inclusion for underrepresented population as well as across STEM topics. The proposed topic must have education policy relevance, and the models to be tested must include predictor variables that are manipulable (e.g., course work in mathematics, instructional practices used by teachers, parental involvement). Studies focusing on STEM education policy are strongly encouraged. Studies that model achievement test data should clearly define the achievement construct and identify the kinds of items to be used to operationalize the topic of interest. Also, when planning to use existing sub-scales, the applicant should describe why these sub-scales are appropriate and how they will be applied. Existing sub-scales provided by NCES or other agencies may not be appropriate for the proposed construct.

PhD Student Funding Overview

At Yale, you can earn your doctorate at our expense.

Our funding packages for Yale PhD students are among the most generous in the world. Every PhD student receives a fellowship for the full cost of tuition, a stipend for living expenses, and paid health coverage, though the details of your funding package will differ depending on your academic program. On average, doctoral students receive more than $500,000 in tuition fellowships, stipends, and health premium benefits over the course of their enrollment. Full PhD funding normally extends for a minimum of five years, unless your doctoral program is of shorter duration, e.g., Investigative Medicine, Law, Nursing, and Public Health.

The main categories of funding available to PhD students are detailed below. Our Programs & Policies handbook contains additional information about funding and fellowship opportunities available at the Graduate School, along with applicable policies.

If you have questions about your funding, you can ask your program registrar or DGS, Graduate Financial Aid, or Associate Dean Robert Harper-Mangels.

Types of Funding for PhD Students

University Fellowships (UFs) are provided through the Graduate School and do not require teaching in Yale's Teaching Fellow Program. UFs are often used during the initial year(s) of your doctoral program to cover your stipend and tuition, when you are engaged in coursework and identifying an adviser.

For official policies governing University Fellowships, including information on deferring a UF, please see our Programs & Policies Bulletin .

In subsequent years and in most programs, your stipend will be funded by a teaching fellowship or a research assistantship.

Teaching Fellowships (TFs) are contingent on teaching Yale's Teaching Fellow Program (TFP). While you are on a TF, a portion of your stipend is compensation for teaching. The rest of your stipend will come from other sources, depending on your department or program. See the Teaching Fellow Funding page for more information.

The teaching portion of your stipend is subject to federal tax withholding, so you will notice a difference in your paycheck in teaching versus non-teaching semesters.

In lieu of teaching in the Teaching Fellow Program, PhD students in the humanities and social sciences may choose to undertake one of the available Professional Development Opportunities . These positions allow you to gain professional experience at a library, museum, or other office on campus relevant to your studies.

If you are in the natural sciences, your funding will likely come from training grants and faculty research grants at some point during your enrollment. In most programs, you may only join a research group that has active grant funding. Please consult with your DGS, if you have questions about this aspect of your funding package.

We strongly encourage you to compete for external fellowships. Winning an external award in a national competition, whether sponsored by a public or private agency, is a significant honor. External fellowships may be subject to our Combined Award policy. Please be sure to review our External Fellowships & Awards page to understand how external awards interact with university funding.

An external fellowship may also offer you added flexibility in your program.

If you are a student in the natural sciences, an external fellowship may allow you to pursue a project or idea that is otherwise not eligible for financial support through your adviser’s research funding.
If you are a student in the humanities or social sciences, an external fellowship might allow you to defer a University Fellowship (UF) to a subsequent term or year.

You can search for external fellowships through the Yale Student Grants Database , other university search engines (e.g., UCLA ), and commercial sites .

You must notify the Graduate School of any external awards you receive.

Send a copy of your award letter to the Financial Aid Office at [email protected] .
If your award is subject to the Combined Award policy, then you will receive a combined award letter via email when your award has been processed, outlining your updated funding package.

Research Grants for Independent Researchers: A Complete Guide

Research Grant for Independent Researchers

Introduction

What are independent research grants, examples of grants available for individual or independent researchers, common eligibility criteria for grants for individuals, examples of small or short research grants, tips for writing a strong research proposal, benefits of receiving grants for individual or independent researchers.

Research Grants can be a vital source of funding for individual or independent researchers who may not have institutional support. Many funding organizations and foundations offer research grants to independent researchers to support research projects in various fields, such as science, social science, humanities, and other academic disciplines. These grants provide researchers with the financial support necessary to carry out their research projects and make significant contributions to their fields.

For example, a graduate student studying anthropology may want to conduct research on the cultural practices of indigenous communities in South America. Without institutional support, the student may have limited financial resources to carry out the research, such as travelling to remote areas, conducting interviews, and gathering data. However, if the student were to receive a research grant, they could use the funds to cover expenses such as travel, equipment, and research assistants, allowing them to conduct the research project successfully.

Similarly, an independent researcher working in a field such as engineering or computer science may not have access to the resources or equipment necessary to conduct their research without institutional support. However, by receiving a grant, the researcher can purchase the necessary equipment, pay for research assistants, and cover other expenses required for the research project.

Therefore, the importance of grants for individual or independent researchers cannot be overstated, as they provide much-needed financial support and resources that can help advance their research careers and make significant contributions to their fields.

Independent research grants refer to funding opportunities provided to individual researchers who are not affiliated with or supported by a specific institution or organization. These grants are typically awarded to scholars, scientists, and other professionals who conduct research outside the framework of institutional affiliations, such as universities or research institutes.

Independent research grants may come from various sources, including government agencies, private foundations, non-profit organizations, and industry sponsors. These grants aim to support innovative and high-quality research projects proposed by individual researchers, providing them with financial resources to cover expenses such as equipment, travel, materials, and personnel costs.

Unlike grants awarded to institutional research teams or projects, independent research grants focus on supporting the work of individual investigators, often allowing them greater flexibility and autonomy in pursuing their research objectives. These grants play a crucial role in fostering creativity, advancing knowledge, and supporting the careers of independent researchers across diverse academic disciplines and fields of inquiry.

Types of Grants Available for Individual or Independent Researchers

There are several types of grants available for individual or independent researchers across various fields. These grants may cover different areas of research, from scientific research to humanities research, and they may come from different organizations and foundations.

National Science Foundation (NSF) Grants : The NSF offers a variety of grants to support scientific research in fields such as engineering, biology, physics, and computer science. These grants are available to individual researchers as well as teams and institutions.
Social Science Research Council (SSRC) Grants : The SSRC offers grants for social science research, including grants for individual researchers and collaborative research projects.
American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Grants : The ACLS offers grants for humanities research, including fellowships for individual researchers and collaborative research projects.
Fulbright Scholar Program : The Fulbright Scholar Program provides grants for individual researchers to conduct research or teach abroad in various fields, including the sciences, social sciences, and humanities.
American Association of University Women (AAUW) Grants : The AAUW offers grants for women in various fields, including the sciences, social sciences, and humanities.
The John Templeton Foundation Grants: The John Templeton Foundation offers grants for individual researchers and research teams to explore the intersection of science, religion, and spirituality.

These are just a few examples of the types of grants available to individual or independent researchers. It is important to note that there are many other organizations and foundations that offer grants in various fields. It is recommended to do thorough research to find the grants that are most suitable for your research project and qualifications.

Grants have specific eligibility criteria that applicants must meet to be considered for funding. The eligibility criteria vary depending on the type of grant, the funding organization or foundation, and the area of research.

Educational qualifications: Some grants may require applicants to have a specific educational background, such as a PhD, a master’s degree, or a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field.
Professional experience: Some grants may require applicants to have a certain level of professional experience, such as a minimum number of years working in a specific field.
Area of research: Grants may be available for specific areas of research, such as biology, engineering, or social sciences. Applicants must have a research project that aligns with the focus of the grant.
Citizenship or residency: Some grants may have citizenship or residency requirements, such as being a citizen or resident of a specific country or region.
Career stage: Some grants may be available for researchers at a specific career stage, such as early-career researchers or established researchers.

To determine if you are eligible for a particular grant, you should carefully review the eligibility criteria provided by the funding organization or foundation. You may also consider contacting the organization or foundation to ask for clarification on eligibility criteria or to ask if they have any recommendations for other funding opportunities if you do not meet their criteria.

It is important to note that meeting the eligibility criteria does not guarantee that you will receive the grant. You must also submit a strong research proposal that aligns with the focus of the grant and demonstrates your ability to conduct high-quality research.

Small or Short Term Research Grants

A small research grant for individuals typically refers to funding provided to support research projects conducted by individual researchers, often at the early stages of their career or for smaller-scale projects. These grants can vary widely in terms of the amount of funding provided and the specific requirements or restrictions placed on how the funds can be used.

Small research grants are often offered by universities, research institutions, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and sometimes private foundations. They can cover a range of expenses related to the research project, such as equipment or supplies, travel expenses for fieldwork or conferences, participant incentives, or even stipends for the researcher’s time.

The eligibility criteria for these grants can also vary, but they are generally open to individual researchers rather than larger research teams or institutions. Applicants may need to demonstrate the significance of their proposed research project, its feasibility, and how the funding will contribute to its successful completion.

Small research grants can be valuable opportunities for individual researchers to pursue their research interests, gain experience in securing funding, and build their professional network. They can also serve as important sources of support for research projects that may not be eligible for larger or more competitive funding opportunities.

Institution for Social and Policy Studies

Advancing research • shaping policy • developing leaders, isps grants: fueling innovation in social science research.

The Institution for Social and Policy Studies is now accepting grant proposals from Yale faculty and graduate students interested in conducting social science research projects or organizing conferences.

“We are delighted to once again offer these distinct funding opportunities as part of our mission to support social science research that aims to deepen our understanding of society and advances social science research methods,” said Alan Gerber , ISPS director and Sterling Professor of Political Science. “The funding programs receive terrific proposals, and it is always exciting to learn more about and support the wonderful work our colleagues are doing across the university.”

Available grants fall into five categories.

The ISPS Survey Research Fund is dedicated to backing research endeavors aimed at advancing survey methodology, whether through design enhancements or innovative analytical approaches.

The ISPS Field Experiments Research Fund supports randomized U.S.-based study designs in which the researchers assign observations in a naturalistic setting to treatment and control conditions.

Seeking to foster innovation and rigorous inquiry into the mechanics of transparent, efficient, and representative governance, the Democratic Innovations Research Fund encourages proposals on diverse topics. These may range from methods to combat political corruption to the exploration of alternative voting systems and more.

In collaboration with the MacMillan Center , ISPS facilitates research that transcends conventional disciplinary boundaries. By integrating domestic social and policy research supported by ISPS with international and regional inquiries backed by the MacMillan Center, this partnership enables faculty to assemble multidisciplinary research teams and submit proposals on general themes without being restricted by distinctions between domestic and international coverage.

Finally, ISPS allocates funds to facilitate conferences addressing significant social and public policy issues, particularly, those with issues and themes that span multiple disciplines or schools.

The deadline for all new grant applications is April 5.

This past fall, ISPS awarded funding to support seven conferences on important social and public policy issues .

In addition, ISPS funded 10 research projects in the previous round of grants.

Crystal Shackleford, a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Psychology is conducting a field experiment on the sociopolitical and psychological implications of universal basic income.

Gregory Huber , an ISPS fellow, chair of the Political Science Department, and Forst Family Professor of Political Science, and Joshua Kalla , ISPS fellow and associate professor of political science, are conducting a study on policy voting and voter learning in congressional primary and general elections. They are collaborating with University of California, Berkeley’s David Broockman , associate professor, and Jacqueline Colao , a Ph.D. student in political science.

Emma Zang , assistant professor of sociology and biostatistics, and Laura Adler , assistant professor of organizational behavior, are exploring how flexible locations and schedules shape gender inequality at home and work.

Yarrow Dunham , associate professor of psychology, is investigating the cultural and real-world implications of a well-replicated experimental phenomenon in which merely assigning individuals randomly to newly formed social groups — which have no prior familiarity or inherent significance — is enough to generate a preference for one’s own group across various metrics.

Ian Turner , ISPS fellow and assistant professor of political science, and Jennifer Wu , postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, are studying descriptive representation in the bureaucracy.

Val Wongsomboon, a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Psychology, is working to adapt a scale used to understand the emotional and psychological effects of the fear of being without a romantic partner so that it can more accurately include LGBTQ people.

Sam Zacher , a Ph.D. student in political science, is examining policy preference intensities and interest divisions in the Democratic coalition.

Ph.D. students Amanda Weiss and Ekin Dursun are exploring new treatments for emotion induction in surveys.

Paul Lendway , a Ph.D. student in political science and co-coordinator of the ISPS Graduate Policy Fellowship, is assessing identity expression and group behavior in economic games.

Nicholas Sambanis , Kalsi Family Professor of Political Science, is collaborating with Catalina Udani , a Ph.D. student in international relations at the University of Pennsylvania, on an artificial intelligence-based validation of field experiments to reduce bias from deepfakes in the social sciences.

And Ramina Sotoudeh , an assistant professor of sociology, is studying the relationship between social media usage and science populism.

Grants for Doctoral Students

Reach a higher level with free money for school.

Grants and scholarships support college students on their way to undergraduate degrees, but there are also significant financial hurdles for those who continue into graduate school programs. Doctoral students especially, face a long-haul of tuition and expenses associated with research and dissertations. Thankfully, a large number of organizations are vested in supporting student research efforts that benefit them.

Qualified students conduct original research that requires dedication and long hours. As a result, paid work is often impossible for graduate students. To bridge the financial gap for doctoral students, a wide cross-section of funding sources put-forth fellowships and grants that keep PhD candidates moving forward.

Some doctoral student aid is driven by altruistic philanthropic philosophies, but when the benefactors have some skin in the game, giving is particularly generous. Professional associations, alumni organizations, charitable foundations, corporations and a host of other interested parties are in the business of disbursing doctoral grants.

Student aid initiatives for graduate students can be general in their eligibility requirements, or specifically targeted to individual student groups. Diversity grants and scholarships, for example, create educational access for certain groups. Minorities, women and students studying narrowly defined subject-matter are awarded graduate school grants based on unique individual characteristics and pursuits.

On your way to finding graduate school financial aid, consider these grants and the entities that fund them:

Colleges and Universities

Colleges and universities offer grants for doctoral students. Competition to win a doctoral grant from a university can be stiff; most schools only accept a limited number of PhD candidates per year.

Grant eligibility requirements are as diverse as the graduate students who apply, so seek offers that are appropriate to your areas of research. Some awards come with limitations on how your grant money can be used. If your grant is a tuition-only affair, you might need alternative financing to pay for expenses that go beyond the cost of tuition, like books, equipment and living expenses.

University of Illinois – Urbana Champaign maintains a list of campus-specific financial aid that is only available to students in the school’s Graduate College. The Fellowship Opportunity Database can be searched for general aid, or tuned-in to include specific search parameters like gender, dissertation support and international studies.

American College of Sports Medicine started offering research dollars to doctoral candidates in 1989. What started as a single grant, has grown to assist 25 students each year, with hundreds of thousands of reasons for doctoral research students to participate.

Specialty-based

Grants for doctoral students are often distributed based on each student’s area of study. Your academic specialty might be what opens the most graduate school grant doors. Schools, associations and industry-related foundations are responsible for furthering research in areas relative to their continued success.

Doctoral research is especially valuable within health-related fields. The Department of Veteran’s Affairs provides doctoral grants in areas of: Health Rehabilitation, Psychology, Social Work, Women’s Health, Research and Development, and Health Informatics.

Alfred P. Sloan Foundation is committed to science, technology and economics. The Foundation supports original research in these areas, if it has the potential to benefit society. Mr. Sloan was president of General Motors, but the grants are not associated with the company. Instead, they reflect Mr. Sloan’s persona belief that STEM subjects and their relationships with economics have the greatest transformative impacts on human life. Some areas currently receiving attention from the Sloan Foundation include:

Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The Census of Marine Life
The Encyclopedia of Life
Public Understanding of Science and Technology
Workplace, Work Force and Working Families
Economic Institutions, Behavior and Performance

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) provides fellowships for advanced studies in accounting disciplines. The AICPA Fellowship for Minority Doctoral Students promotes diversity within the accounting field, specifically fostering greater representation among minority educators. Minority students with the potential to act as educational role models for future minority accountants are encouraged to compete for $12,000 awards annually. Applicants must be enrolled in doctoral programs full-time, in pursuit of advanced degrees.

AICPA also administers the John L. Carey Accounting Scholarship for students who are engaged in advanced accounting studies and in pursuit of CPA licensure. $5000 goes to each qualified student, with as many as 10 individual awards disbursed each academic year.

Southern Regional Education Board ( SREB ) recognizes the role of minorities in the classroom. The simple stated mission of the organization is to create more minority PhDs and encourage them to take faculty positions. The SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program promotes educational diversity by empowering under-represented groups to move into advanced degree programs. The program is part of a national effort called Compact for Faculty Diversity , which emulates the same philosophies. Founded in 1993, the SREB doctoral program has aided more than one-thousand students to-date, including over 600 graduates. In addition to post-graduate funding, the program provides employment support for grant recipients.

The Coca-Cola Doctoral Student Grant on Behavior Research is worth $5000 to each winner. The mission of the fund is specifically related to doctoral research involving individual physical activity, and maintaining exercise habits. Cutting-edge doctoral students get paid by Coke to devise innovative strategies for getting people to exercise.

Organizations and Associations

Doris Duke Charitable Foundation (DDCF) is a far-reaching philanthropic effort that supports specific educational ares like arts and humanities, environmental research, medical research and African American studies. Grants from the organization find their way into graduate student hands through re-granting agencies that administer the Foundation’s funds. Some Doris Duke partners include:

MAP fund is dedicated to diversity in education. Research work that explores the roles and interactions of minority groups in society, especially related to class, gender, cultural background, religion and sexual orientation, is funded by MAP grants made possible by Doris Duke support.

New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA) uses DDCF money to support touring dance troops. Choreographers and companies studying fine arts are empowered to bring their new works to diverse audiences, with the help of DDCF Touring Awards.

The Wenner-Gren Fondation is an anthropological organization that furthers international anthropology studies through doctoral grants. PhD candidates are eligible for dissertation research funding from several scholarship and grant programs put forth by the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research.

The Foundation supports innovative research that employs an international approach to worldwide anthropological understanding. The private, New York based organization provides future leaders with tuition help, through these student aid programs:

Engaged Anthropology Grant – This unique grant is a post-PhD funding opportunity that helps researchers return to the locales where their work was completed. Once final dissertation field work has been completed, students are invited to apply for up to $5000 toward expenses associated with reporting research results in the regions in which work was undertaken.
Wadsworth African Fellowships are designed for doctoral students who wish to study at University of Cape Town and other South African schools. Up to $17,500 is available to each student annually, and the fellowships may be renewed for up to 4 years. International studies represent a lynch-pin of the Wenner-Gren philosophy of anthropological understanding.
Dissertation Fieldwork Grants support research initiatives for doctoral students whose work contributes to the field of anthropology. Applicants are welcomed from all over the world. Awards are capped at $20,000 per student, but there is an additional aid avenue attached, called the Osmundsen Initiative. Osmundsen winners gain an additional $5000 worth of dissertation research funding.

Copying, binding, presentation expenses associated with final submission of a dissertation or synthesis project for degree completion
Research unrelated to the graduate program, or conducted following the completion of degree requirements
Research assistance or transcription of notes or recordings will not normally be allowed unless there is a compelling explanation as to why the student cannot accomplish the task

Application Process

To apply, a doctoral student must complete the online application form and upload a research proposal, budget, and one letter of verification from the graduate program. Supplemental documents that strengthen the application (e.g., conference acceptance, publication agreement with APC charge) should be included with the application.

The research proposal is limited to 1,000 words and should include description of the research/travel being requested to fund and relationship to dissertation/synthesis project. If related to conference travel, conference details including dates, location, and website must be included.
The research budget should be itemized and match the activities described in the proposal. It should explain in detail the costs associated with each of the activities. If the anticipated costs are greater than the funding limits, explain what other resources will support the remaining expenses. If funding is being requested from (or provided by) multiple sources, identify those sources.
The letter of verification must come from the student’s dissertation/synthesis project chair, faculty advisor, or graduate coordinator affirming relevance of request and/or appropriateness of conference, publication, publisher to discipline.
Supplemental documentation such as conference acceptance, publication agreement with proof of APC or creative writing submission fee requirements, etc. should be included. While funding may be considered without these items included at the time of application, the competitiveness of the application will be improved significantly with inclusion and, if awarded funds, documentation will be required prior to reimbursement (or direct payment when possible) of the expense(s).

Application Deadlines and Award Timeline

Applications will be accepted two times in the Fall/Spring semesters and once in the Summer session.

Spring 2024 Application Deadlines: February 15 and March 15.

Applications will be reviewed on a competitive basis by a committee of graduate faculty reviewers. Processing time varies depending on volume of applications. Applicants should anticipate at least four weeks before receiving a decision.

Grants will be made as long as funds remain available.

Additional Financial Considerations

For students who qualify for need-based financial aid, receipt of this grant may reduce the original loan amount or subsidy. Please consult with the Office of Financial Aid for help evaluating your individual circumstances.

Funds awarded must be utilized during the current fiscal year. The fiscal year runs July 1-June 30.

Funds awarded may be expended only in ways that comply with University and state policies governing the expenditure of state funds. Because graduate students do not have access to LaCarte procurement cards or to the ChromeRiver expense management platform, support will be required from the department, faculty, and/or the Graduate School to ensure compliance with University and state purchasing and travel policies. While support will be necessary, it is the student’s responsibility to adhere to all University and state purchasing and travel policies. For example, if using these funds for travel, a Travel Pre-Approval is required and purchase of commercial airline tickets must be done through the state contracted travel agency. Whatever the expense, original invoices/receipts will be required.

Projects funded by 2024 New Frontier Grants look toward the future

New Frontier Grants

By | Kate Blackwood , A&S Communications

How will a new multinational power grid affect people and cultures across Asia? Will artificial intelligence aid or hurt the United Nations? How can scholars take a new approach to Haudenosaunee studies? What new instruments will help us understand and harness the power of two different types of quantum materials?

To support the progress of the Cornell researchers asking these questions, the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) has awarded five New Frontier Grants to cutting edge projects in science, social science and the humanities led by A&S faculty, some with collaborators from other colleges.

“Technologies such as AI and quantum computing are developing rapidly with the potential for profound impacts on our society. At the same time we are gaining new insight into history, communities and human endeavor. The New Frontier Grants awarded this year ensure that Cornell researchers are working at the forefront of discovery in these critical and often interconnected areas, steering their adoption and implementation toward the greater good,” said Rachel Bean, interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. “This year, five new, innovative projects draw on the expertise of Arts and Sciences faculty, demonstrating our college’s characteristic zeal for interdisciplinary collaboration.

“I am thrilled to announce these ground-breaking research projects conceived by our brilliant scholars, and I am grateful for the donors whose philanthropy has been absolutely vital to the New Frontier Grant program,” she said.

To date, the New Frontier Grant program has funded 39 projects.

Projects funded in 2024 by New Frontier Grants address a wide range of issues in the humanities, social sciences and sciences. Some cross disciplinary boundaries to solve complex problems while others focus closely on mysteries of nature that have implications for future technologies.

In the project “Engaging Multi-Scalar Dynamics in Trans-Asia Infrastructures,” Shaoling Ma , associate professor of Asian studies (A&S) and Stefano Galelli , associate professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the College of Engineering (ENG) will analyze the dynamic interconnections and divisions between human-natural systems involved in the Laos-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project. Power grids challenge researchers with multi-scalar objects of study that range from man-made infrastructures, the natural environment, narratives about displaced communities and environmental degradation to remotely-sensed data sets, requiring a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches. The project aims to show that computational modeling helps to verify and quantify critical humanities theories, and that the latter can enrich data-driven analysis. By closing existing knowledge gaps that have failed to encapsulate the geopolitical, socioeconomic, environmental and cultural dynamics of trans-Asia energy networks, the researchers hope to help construct an alternative infrastructural future centered on people and ecology instead of profit and capital.

“Reconceptualizing Haudenosaunee Studies” aims to advance Haudenosaunee studies in linguistics, anthropology/archaeology and art/history of art while changing long-dominant methods in the field. Foregrounding involvement of community members and knowledge keepers, particularly Stephen Henhawk , research associate in linguistics (A&S) and program associate in the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program (AIISP) in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the researchers will focus on Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫɁ (Cayuga), the indigenous language and people of the Cayuga Lake region, while touching all the Haudenosaunee nations and the diaspora into which many Haudenosaunee people have been driven. Research goals include revision of the stereotyped “polysynthetic” characterization of Haudenosaunee languages; rewriting the narrative of the long-term Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫɁ habitation in the region; and re-inscription of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫɁ physical presence here. The project is led by John Whitman , professor of linguistics (A&S); Kurt Jordan , professor of anthropology (A&S); and Jolene Rickard , associate professor of history of art and visual studies (A&S).

Generative AI is poised to revolutionize various sectors, extending its reach into international organizations such as the United Nations. But adoption of AI in report generation for these organizations could have major implications for governance if AI is inaccurate and biased. In the project “New Frontier for AI in Global Policy Dissemination: Exploring the Use of AI for Evaluating International Organization Country Performance Reports,” Sabrina Karim , the Hardis Family Assistant Professor of government (A&S) aims to comprehensively examine the advantages and drawbacks of employing AI in policy report writing, leveraging the established infrastructure of the Gender and Security Sector Lab at Cornell, which includes undergraduate research. Karim will also compare how officials perceive reports written by AI compared to humans.

Two projects approach important research frontiers in quantum physics.

In “Development of a Time-Resolved Sagnac Interferometer for Ultra-Sensitive and Ultra-Fast Optical Studies of Spin Dynamics,” Dan Ralph , the F. R. Newman Professor of Physic (A&S), together with Gregory Fuchs , professor of applied and engineering physics (ENG), will investigate the physics of “spintronics,” trying to understand how to efficiently excite and control the dynamics of electron spins in materials where the overall equilibrium magnetism is weak or zero, i.e. ferrimagnets or antiferromagnets. These dynamics are of interest in part because the spin precession speed can be much faster than for conventional strong ferromagnets (0.1-several THz versus 0.1-10 GHz). However, studying these materials requires the development of new experimental techniques with both very high sensitivity and very high speed. The goal of the project is to develop a unique spintronics instrument capable of time resolution down to 200 fs together with the sensitivity to measure even weakly-magnetic nanometer-scale films. In “Imaging Invisible Spin Orders with Nanoscopic Magnetic Tunneling Junctions” Xiaomeng Liu , assistant professor of physics (A&S) will explore unconventional magnetism, such as quantum spin liquids. A new frontier in quantum materials exploration, unconventional magnetism offers tantalizing quantum properties like long-range entanglement and fractionalized excitations – but probing these materials is challenging due to their vanishing magnetization. This proposal aims to develop an imaging technique that is effective in probing spin orders even in the absence of global magnetization. This approach enables atomic-resolution imaging of spin textures and excitations applicable to both conducting and insulating 2D magnetic materials. This endeavor holds promise for unraveling specific quantum properties critical for future advancements in spintronics and topological quantum computing.

Grants introduced in the College of Education to encourage, support research

The best things in life may be free, but the work and travel required in graduate-level research rarely are. Pursuing a new line of education research often requires intervention materials, assessments and supplies, while networking with fellow researchers requires travel and conference attendance.

With these costs in mind, the Department of Education and Human Development in the Clemson University College of Education has established the Cultivating Opportunities for Research in Education (CORE) awards.

According to Shanna Hirsch, associate professor in the department and member of its graduate student support committee, the department developed the CORE awards to defray the direct expenses of the recipient’s research and conference presentations.

“Graduate students should be able to take advantage of any opportunity that helps them explore their field of interest and build a strong background and network of peers,” Hirsch said. “These awards are designed to remove some of the financial barriers to research, which for many students makes or breaks that research happening at all.”

The CORE awards fall into two categories: CORE Research Grants and CORE Conference and Travel Awards. Students can use the former award to support any research project, including thesis and dissertation-related studies. Alternatively, students can use the CORE Conference and Travel Award to fund attendance and a presentation at a regional or national conference.

Mya Kelley, a special education doctoral candidate and graduate research assistant, has earned both CORE awards. Kelley used the conference and travel award to attend the American Speech Language Hearing Association Convention in November 2023. At the conference, she presented on collaborating with teachers to improve the implementation of culturally responsive strategies with diverse students.

Kelley used the research grant to help support her dissertation on using mixed reality simulation in special education. In the context of preparing pre-service teachers, mixed reality simulation allows them to enter into a virtual classroom and interact with avatars that human actors control. This virtual classroom allows students to practice specific instructional or behavior management strategies or to conduct meetings, conferences or individualized education program meetings.

Kelley knew collaborating with another university on the project would strengthen her research, but she required funding to cover the cost of their faculty’s use of the mixed reality technology.

“The CORE award allowed me to really ‘seal the deal’ and collaborate with another university and give their faculty and students the opportunity to see mixed reality in action,” Kelley said. “That would not have happened without this funding.”

Kelley said she is grateful for both awards and that the funding was crucial for travel and pushing her research further, but their actual value revealed itself when combined with the faculty support she has experienced throughout her time at Clemson. That includes the application process for the awards and the day-to-day support she has received from Hirsch and others in the department and throughout the College.

She said the faculty’s depth and breadth of experience in special education provide options for what graduate students can concentrate on in the program, which makes it unique. Faculty support and help via awards such as CORE combined with access to cutting-edge technology has provided Kelley with an experience she feels is unparalleled in a doctoral program.

“To even be considered for one of these awards requires an application, which for me meant encouragement and support from faculty,” Kelley said. “Faculty support is crucial and critical in collaboration with the CORE award itself; I have always felt supported in that way since beginning my Ph.D. studies at Clemson.”
