IHG Research Grants

The context for the Institute of Human Geography (IHG) research grants is provided in an editorial by Richard Peet published in the first issue (2008) of the Human Geography journal. A huge effort in terms of labor and time over the years has produced both a viable journal and book series, and a surplus of funds that has been used to support radical research and writing. IHG has awarded more than $260,000 as grant funds to date (see details of awardees and their research topics below).

We invite proposals up to US $10,000 per research grant and continue to encourage applications for smaller research grants (under US $5,000). The main criteria by which all proposals are assessed includes:

A committee consisting of IHG’s board members and the Human Geography Editors would review and rank the proposals, which should consist of the following:

Proposal: Single document totaling ten pages using 12-point font, double-spaced, and including parts A, B, C and D:

A. Single Cover page with:

B. Explanation: Maximum of four pages, which should include:

C. Budget: Maximum of one page. Detail how the funds will be spent on research expenses. Please note that IHG research grants are not to be used for the following purposes:

D. Short Curriculum Vitae(s): For each applicant (maximum of four pages total).

The application should be submitted via email as a single PDF to Dr. Jayson Funke at the Institute of Human Geography (ihumangeography@gmail.com) before the annual application deadline on September 15.
