04) Funds for Faculty Research Groups in Religion | Applications Due April 1
BCSR is sponsoring 1 to 2 Project Development Groups (PDG) in the Study of Religion for faculty in 2014-15. BCSR PDGs provide an opportunity for small, collaborative faculty groups to work on larger-scale projects related to the study of religion. Groups may wish to use the PDG as a platform to launch larger grant writing projects or to seed a lecture series, publication, or a conference. Collaborative projects with other campuses—national or international—are welcome, although the program cannot fund non-UCB faculty. To learn how to apply, visit bcsr.berkeley.edu.
