Summary: Supports research and programming centered on the Amazon River region and aligned with CLACS’s climate, culture, and politics themes.
The Amazon Initiative Grants for 2026–27 are offered by Brown University’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS). The initiative supports research and programming centered on the Amazon River region through June 2027. It approaches the Amazon as a multinational, multilingual, and transtemporal region, making this regional focus central to the work it supports.
Amazon-focused projects should also support CLACS’s broader themes for 2025–27: Climate and Conservation; Arts and Cultures; and Politics and Peripheries. The grants sit within the center’s wider opportunities for interdisciplinary research, programming, and collaborative projects, connecting work on the Amazon with these thematic priorities.
