The Gender Institute offers grants to UB faculty to support research and/or curriculum development that exemplifies high quality, innovative scholarship related to women, gender, and sexuality. The Institute is particularly interested in supporting projects that are collaborative and/or interdisciplinary and those that will lead to applications for an external award. Grants range from $1,000 - $7,000 and can be used for data collection, archival research, fieldwork, research assistance, supplies, books, software, travel integral to the development of the project, and other forms of research support and curriculum development expenses that are allowable under UB guidelines. Funds can also be used for course releases with the support of the applicant’s department chair. Applicants must be full-time tenure-track faculty, teaching faculty, or research scientists at the University at Buffalo. Past recipients may reapply three years after a successful Gender Institute application.
