Graduate Global Research Fellows

The Halle Institute for Global Research and Learning is pleased to offer the Graduate Global Research Fellows program for Laney Graduate School PhD students in the pre-candidacy stage. The program provides funds to support summer research in preparation for dissertation work and includes a series of research and grant related workshop sessions to prepare students to apply for competitive national and international grants.

This program is offered in collaboration with LGS and ECDS.

The Halle Institute Graduate Global Research Fellows program is open to students conducting research outside the United States or for transnational projects where most of the research occurs outside of the United States. Students from all research traditions and LGS divisions are encouraged to apply. Students who are in the pre-candidacy phase and who will be applying for major grants during the subsequent academic year may apply. The funding is to support a summer research trip abroad (between four and twelve weeks) to determine the feasibility of a PhD dissertation project prior to applying for nationally or internationally competitive external funding. The grant must be used during the summer following the award.
