Deadline Extended for Research Grant Applications

The Institute for Critical Race and Ethnic Studies is extending the deadline for application submissions for the Community Research Partnerships (CRP) programs. The institute invites members of the St. John’s University community (i.e., graduate students, faculty, administrators, and staff) to submit an application for funding opportunities in the area of collaborative research with community members 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.

The institute seeks to fund one grant from each category.

Grant applications are now due on April 2, 2024, and decisions will be announced during the first week of May. You can access the application by clicking on the following link: CALL FOR PROPOSAL (CFP).
