Brown University’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) administers the Caribbean Initiative Grants for 2026–27 to support research and programming centered on the Caribbean through June 2027. The initiative forms part of the center’s opportunities promoting interdisciplinary research, programming, and collaborative projects.
The grants give particular attention to projects that extend beyond a single island or territory, a single cultural or linguistic context, or a single historical period. Supported work must align with the center’s broader 2025–27 themes: Climate and Conservation, Arts and Cultures, and Politics and Peripheries.
