Preliminary Call for Proposals: The Kinsey Institute Student Research Grants 2008-2009 

The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction at Indiana University is pleased to announce a Preliminary Call for Proposals for The Kinsey Institute Student Research Grants 2008-2009. This program confers sexuality research grants to emerging scholars and seeks to fund significant and innovative research, from a wide array of disciplines and perspectives, that deals with human sexuality. The program is supported by donations from Friends of The Kinsey Institute.

The Kinsey Institute will fund up to six proposals at $750 each, including three from graduate students at Indiana University and three from graduate students enrolled at other universities. It is an expectation that results from the funded studies will ultimately be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals. In addition, descriptions of the research will be posted on the Kinsey Institute's website.  

Electronic submission of proposals will be accepted beginning September 1,

2008. The deadline for submission of proposal materials will be October 1,

2008. Applications for funding should include a clear and concise research

description (study rationale, methods, and planned data analysis), a budget,

and a letter of support from a faculty mentor/advisor. The maximum length is

3 pages for the research description and 1 page for the budget. All applicants must be registered as full time graduate students at accredited

universities in the United States.
