Student Research Fund

CSCC Student Research Grant (Max 2,000 USD)

Deadlines: September 30 and February 28

We welcome any China-related ideas and projects that can involve undergraduate or graduate students in research, including signature works. Please send us a curriculum vitae, a research plan (up to 3 pages) including how you can enhance student research, how you will identify the students and what the “products” you will expect from this project, with a brief description of budget. The length of the project is within two years, unless otherwise specified. Each successful research group is expected to acknowledge CSCC support in the final product and participate in a poster exhibition in the beginning of the next academic year.

All grant proposals should be sent to Chi Zhang, program coordinator for the Center for the Studies of Contemporary China. Please contact Chi Zhang for inquiries as well.
