The mission of the Doctoral Student Research Grant Program is to foster a research‐oriented academic culture among Ph.D. students by: (a) providing incentives for students to model and meet, early in their careers, the requirements for succeeding in the competition for funds by clearly defining a problem, a project, and a realistic budget; (b) providing an occasion for faculty‐student mentoring relationships that are oriented around the concrete problems of proposing, planning for, and executing research; and (c) furthering student professional progress by providing funds for pre‐doctoral research publications, presentations, and professional networking. Applicants may submit a budget between $250 and $1,500.

Doctoral students in good standing in their 2nd to 6th year at The Graduate Center are eligible to apply.

In response to the continuing disruptions to academic work that have been one byproduct of the ongoing global pandemic, The Provost’s Office is pleased to announce the Catalyst Grant program to provide short term support for doctoral student research during this academic year.

A limited number of awards of $2,000.00 will be made in each of the following categories: A) Level III students: to support research aimed at the completion of a chapter or substantive portion of the dissertation. B) Level II students: whose research agenda may need to be redesigned because of ongoing disruptions prior to the submission of their dissertation prospectus.

More information on ERI Catalyst Grants is available here.
