Apply for a Global Spotlight Project

Thank you for your interest in the CIAWC’s Global Spotlight Project program. Applications for the 2024-2025 Global Spotlight Project are closed. Stay tuned for more information.

Each year, the Center will feature a Global Spotlight Project. Applications should be for projects that are nearing publication, dissemination, or grant proposals. The Center will co-host a workshop for the Project and provide publicity and outreach. All spotlight project leaders will meet with the research development team in CSSH and NURes at the provost level to explore ongoing research after the spotlight year.

The Global Spotlight Project will be funded up to $8,000. The Center will provide administrative support and space for the project’s workshop/event. The primary convener, and lead name on the application, must be a full-time faculty member in CSSH; the convener need not hold tenure or be on a tenure track. Outside participants may be invited to attend. We strongly encourage applications that have co-sponsorship from other institutions, centers, or departments. We anticipate that funds will be used to convene participants in Boston, and may include meals, dissemination of materials, travel, lodging, equipment.
