The individual grants
We are looking for individuals who are trying to break new ground on inequality, preferably with inter-disciplinary approaches, and with policy implications. The funds are open to both scholars (including graduate students) and practitioners/professionals from any country. We particularly encourage individuals from institutions in Latin America to apply.
Applications can be submitted in English, Spanish or Portuguese. You can apply either via email or by regular mail. To apply, please send your CV (maximum length of four pages), a two-page research plan that describes your broader research project(s) as well as what you plan to do with this award, and a budget. Please have two reference letters sent separately.
The awards must be used within 12 months of receipt. Successful recipients are expected to submit a brief report upon completion of their research as well as a working paper on their research findings which will be included in the observatory’s working paper series.
The institutional grants
The institutional grants will be given to research teams in order to enable them to advance our knowledge on inequality in Latin America and to contribute to the web portal resources. Grants can be given as seed money for new projects, or to advance the progress of existing projects. While we know they will be collaborative, please identify a center or institution as the home base of the project.
Applications can be submitted in English, Spanish or Portuguese. You can apply either via email or by regular mail. To apply, please send a detailed description of the project (3 to 4 pages), a list of participating scholars and practitioners, a budget, and a supporting letter from the director of the home center or institution.
Email applications: please send them to observatoryla@miami.edu (reference letters need to be sent separately from the writer’s email address).
Regular mail applications: please send them to Observatory on Inequality, Center for Latin American Studies, Memorial Building 125, 1111 Memorial Drive, University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL 33124-2302.
