GRANTS: CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH AWARDS

DEADLINE: All proposals must be received no later than February 1, 2010.

The Dirksen Congressional Center invites applications for grants to fund
research on congressional leadership and the U.S. Congress. A total of up to
$35,000 will be available in 2010. Awards range from a few hundred dollars
to $3,500. 

The competition is open to individuals with a serious interest in studying
Congress. Political scientists, historians, biographers, scholars of public
administration or American studies, and journalists are among those
eligible. The Center encourages graduate students who have successfully
defended their dissertation prospectus to apply and awards a significant
portion of the funds for dissertation research. Applicants must be U.S.
citizens who reside in the United States.

The awards program does not fund undergraduate or pre-Ph.D. study.
Organizations are not eligible. Research teams of two or more individuals
are eligible. No institutional overhead or indirect costs may be claimed
against a Congressional Research Award.

There is no standard application form. Applicants are responsible for
showing the relationship between their work and the awards program
guidelines. Applications are accepted at any time. Applications which exceed
the page limit and incomplete applications will NOT be forwarded to the
screening committee for consideration.

All application materials must be received on or before February 1, 2010.
Awards will be announced in March 2010.
