The competitive awards fund two types of activity: travel to conduct thesis research and travel to participate in a conference related to a student’s research interests. Supported travel may take place in the United States, Latin America, or the Caribbean.
The awards form part of CLACS’s broader portfolio of professorships, awards, and grants promoting interdisciplinary research, programming, and collaborative projects. Within that portfolio, these awards provide focused support for undergraduates pursuing thesis-related research trips or participating in relevant conferences.
