Center for the Study of Federalism invites applications for research on American federalism

The Center for the Study of Federalism invites applications for original research and/or writing that advance thinking about federalism as a principle of American government, law, or politics.

Areas of focus may include but are not limited to political philosophy and theory, political history and development, public policy, law (including constitutional law), political institutions, political behavior, and political culture. Grants of up to $15,000 will be awarded. They may cover travel, lodging, and meals necessary for research purposes, research materials (including relevant software), fieldwork, surveys, research assistants, and other pertinent research expenses. In addition, the grant may cover expenses related to attending conferences and publishing CSF-supported research. CSF will not pay overhead or indirect costs to any institution or person. The grant may not be used to purchase equipment, such as a computer.

Applicants are expected to have earned a doctoral degree and a published research record. Scholars and faculty members from colleges, universities, and independent research institutions are invited to apply.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Center for the Study of Federalism website.
