Description
The Society for Latin American Studies (SLAS) offers Postgraduate Research Support Grants to help postgraduate members undertake or complete research. Supported costs include fieldwork and archive visits, image rights, indexing, translation, co-production of outputs and research equipment. Grants can also cover additional care during a researcher’s absence and travel for accompanying children. Conference participation is eligible only when presenting as part of a wider research trip.
The scheme prioritises applicants without institutional support and normally gives preference to registered PhD students. Assessment emphasises project quality, the research’s potential significance, budget justification and the academic reference. Reflecting its Climate Action Plan, SLAS encourages sustainable travel options, even where these cost more than basic alternatives.
