LACLxS offers small grants to support summer research and travel in Latin America and the Caribbean. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis, and the competition is open to all graduate students of Johns Hopkins University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LACLxS supports projects from all disciplines. The primary purpose of the travel grant scheme is to enable students to pursue academic research on a topic related to Latin American, Caribbean, and\/or Latinx Studies. Applications are judged on the basis of the quality of the proposal submitted, the student\u2019s academic standing, and the relationship of the proposed travel and summer research to the student\u2019s long-term academic and professional goals. Grants generally range from $1,000 to $3,000 and are intended to contribute to the costs of airfare, lodging, and minimal research expenses. It is expected that successful applicants will spend at least three weeks in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon their return from research travel, all grantees will present their results in a one-day conference organized by LACLxS later in the semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note that all funded projects will have to comply with Homewood IRB regulations, and it may be necessary to obtain HIRB approval. For further information, please contact the HIRB<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grants are open to any student with a focus on Latin America, the Caribbean, and\/or Latinx Studies.
