The university awards small grants for developing or implementing a research project (broadly defined to include the full scope of scholarly, creative, and professional practices covered across the colleges of The New School) that has project-related expenses—for example, for travel, equipment and supplies, access fees for data, memberships, or dissemination. Proposals are also welcome for other kinds of expenses relevant to student research (broadly defined), including but not limited to support for travel to research sites, travel and registration costs for presenting completed work at an academic or professional conference, or costs for showcasing artwork or performances. Applicants may apply for a maximum of $3000 for individual grants or a maximum of $5000 for collaborative grants that involve more than one student, but applications for smaller levels of funding are also encouraged. The application form provides more details about eligible and ineligible expense categories.
All students are welcome at pre-application workshops, which will include strategies for developing a successful proposal and budgeting tips. In Spring 2018, workshops are scheduled for:
- February 21 at 12pm, Hirshon Suite, 55 W. 13th St., 2nd floor
- March 1 at 4pm, University Center (63 Fifth Ave.), Room 201
- March 6 at 6pm, University Center (63 Fifth Ave.), Lower level 104
