Description
The Society for Latin American Studies (SLAS) Research Development Award supports significant research projects and impactful collaborations within UK Latin American Studies. It funds practical research activities, including fieldwork, trips to archives, and workshops, rather than conference attendance. Proposals should demonstrate academic excellence, make an original contribution to the field, and provide a clear timetable for completion.
Applications are assessed for scholarly excellence and alignment with SLAS’s aims and charitable purposes, particularly their contribution to Latin American studies in the UK. In line with its Climate Action Plan, SLAS encourages sustainable research travel, including fewer trips and overland journeys instead of flights where possible. Applicants may budget for more sustainable options even when these cost more than the most basic alternative.
