Projects and series that will span one academic year with the potential for renewal in subsequent years. The project will be part of our yearly programming at the Center and the project director/s will organize 2-3 public-facing events each academic year. Projects must have a named faculty director/s who will be responsible for running the programming. Projects may receive up to $5,000 in programming funds. Project director/s are encouraged to use part of their funds to pay a project assistant to help coordinate the logistics of the programming, as CSGS staff are not available to provide such support. Directors of all approved projects and series must submit a short report at the end of the AY concerning how the funds were used, and useful. Please submit: A one-page description of the project and its objectives; collaborators (names and departments), students, and any others involved; relevant dates (estimated or confirmed, please note which); possible or confirmed co-sponsors; and a proposed venue. Please attach a rough budget, estimating event costs: honoraria, airfare and hotel, food/catering, poster and other publicity, audio-visual, venue or recording expenses, other materials, or planning costs. If you are requesting renewal of a funded faculty project, please add a paragraph that discusses the events and the outcomes of your work in the past year. Upload all documents as pdfs.
