51ÁÔÆæ Faculty Funding

The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) is committed to supporting a broad spectrum of students, faculty, K-16 teachers and other partners with funding for their scholarly endeavors and for professional development. The financial support is made possible through U.S. Education Department Title VI grant funding, a private foundation grant, generous donors supportive of CLACS, and through the 51ÁÔÆæ College of Letters and Science.

Research/Conference Support

51ÁÔÆæ Faculty engaged in Latin American/Caribbean research projects are eligible to compete for funds throughout the year.

Liaison Grants

We are not accepting Liaison Grants at this time.

CLACS faculty member participation is essential to the strength, vitality and, most importantly, the future of the Center. In fall 2013, while planning for the Title VI federal grant application, three faculty focus groups were held to generate ideas. The faculty who attended encouraged the Center to offer CLACS Liaison Grants as a way to involve our CLACS members more fully in Latin American and Caribbean Studies at 51ÁÔÆæ. We welcome your ideas, energy and initiatives now and over the next four years.

Course Development Grant for STEM, Area Studies and Study Abroad

Through its federal grant funding CLACS endeavors to support development of new courses focused on the region, as well as course enhancements that will bring focus on Latin America and/or the Caribbean to an existing syllabus. This is particularly true for STEM courses, adding an area studies focus to courses in the professional schools, and development of new study abroad courses to the region.
