Notre Dame Poverty Initiative announces new internal grant opportunity
The Notre Dame Poverty Initiative is determined to create a world intolerant of poverty by expanding knowledge about how to solve it.
As part of this effort, the Poverty Initiative is offering internal grants to support high-impact research endeavors related to describing the nature of poverty or understanding its causes and consequences and how best to alleviate it.
This funding opportunity–Poverty Research Packages–aims to support Notre Dame faculty by elevating their existing research and/or supporting new areas of inquiry related to poverty.
Grants would provide a “package” of operational infrastructure necessary for the scholar’s research to thrive. Examples of such infrastructure support include: undergraduate research assistants, pre-doctoral fellows, graduate students, project managers, project development specialists to build partner relationships, postdoctoral fellows, data acquisition and management, and other project costs.
Poverty Research Packages are available to any tenured or tenure-track faculty member whose research closely aligns with the mission of the Poverty Initiative. Read more about this funding opportunity, eligibility, and instructions for applying.
Intent to apply notices are due March 3 and full proposals are due March 21. Please contact Leigh Lynes with any questions.
