Once again, we invite UConn graduate students to apply for summer fellowships for 2022. Students across all fields whose research has a primary focus on gender identity are eligible. For 2022, the Wood/Raith Living Trust will award 12 graduate stipends at a maximum of $4,000 each.

Students applying for this fellowship support should note that they are writing for an interdisciplinary audience. In your application, please provide the following:

1) An opening 100-word paragraph that contextualizes past teaching, research, and service activities that are gender-related.

2) Edited 2-page maximum CV, including primarily gender-related activities that pertain to teaching, research, service, and funding (both internal and external).

3) 325-word summary of specific gender identity research projects, including:

a) a concise overview of the project, providing details to orient the reader to relevant research questions, argument/theory that informs the work, approaches/methods used, and the work’s importance,

b) planned accomplishments during the grant period, and

c) a clear statement of significance to the study of gender identity outlined for the period (summer 2022).

4) 75-word summary of the importance of the funding in accomplishing the goals, highlighting estimated research and living costs, as well as other anticipated summer support (including amount and source).
