Follow us PSC Initiatives Fund
Using funds from the Grace T. Brown Endowment in combination with PSC overhead, the Center will provide a fund of up to $50,000 each year to support PSC researchers whose projects do not qualify for endowments targeted toward international projects. The fund gives priority to research activities focused on domestic issues.
Eligibility: All PSC trainees (predoctoral students, postdoctoral fellows) and PSC Research Affiliates appointed prior to September 1, 2011 are eligible to apply for the PSC Initiatives Fund.
Support: Applicable uses of funds include, but are not limited to, travel, salary support, data procurement, data collection, and coordination with colleagues, both domestically and internationally. Funds may also be used to support mini-conferences or workshops, or to provide student salaries for working directly with faculty on research projects.
