Description
Brown University’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) offers Amazon Initiative Grants for 2026–27 to support research and programming centered on the Amazon River region through June 2027. The initiative approaches the Amazon as a multinational, multilingual, and transtemporal region and forms part of the center’s broader support for interdisciplinary research, programming, and collaborative projects.
Amazon-focused work must align with CLACS’s thematic priorities for 2025–27: Climate and Conservation, Arts and Cultures, and Politics and Peripheries. The initiative connects its regional focus on the Amazon with this wider interdisciplinary agenda.
