- CRES Institute Launches Community Research Grants Funded by Sansone Foundation
The Institute for Critical Race and Ethnic Studies invites members of the St. John’s University community to submit an application for funding opportunities in the area of collaborative research with members of communities and organizations outside the University.
The Institute’s Community Research Partnerships funding programs will award four grants of up to $5,000 each to support community-based research projects that represent a University-community collaboration that addresses the problem of systemic racism and its impact on intersecting identities such as gender, sexuality, class, and ability.
The Institute’s Sansone Funding Programs recently created by the Mary C. Sansone Fellowship Endowment Fund and the Zachary Sansone Fellowship Endowment Fund will support two applicants whose research best articulates solutions to problems created by systemic racism. These two fellowships are named in memory of Mary C. Sansone and her husband Zachary, whose shared passion for righting wrongs led the Sansone Foundation to support this social justice-related research and programming in the CRES Institute.
Graduate students, faculty, administrators, and staff are encouraged to apply. The Institute seeks to fund one grant from each category.
Grant applications are due on February 7, 2024. Decisions will be announced the first week of March. Please contact [email protected] for access to the CRP informational webinar that was held on January 10, 2024.
