The Chloe Center offers annual graduate research and travel grants of up to $3,000 for Hopkins PhD students to fund research during the summer or academic year. The research should concern racism, immigration, and colonialism, broadly construed. All disciplines and methodologies are welcome. The goal is to support early research to explore field sites, research modalities, and theoretical questions in preparation for more extended dissertation research.
Applications for these grants typically open in March of each academic year, with the awards disbursed at the end of the spring semester.
