LGBTI+ Global Small Grants Program
Posted by Nicole Moran on April 1, 2021 at 10:44 am
The Williams Institute’s Global LGBTI Small Grants Program is designed to encourage new empirical research focused on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex populations in the Global South (Latin America, Caribbean, Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East/North Africa, Asia, Pacific Islands) as well as amplify voices of researchers from those regions. The program also aims to strengthen research capacity among participants by supporting networking and knowledge exchange (including a colloquium to present research findings) and providing mentorship, where needed, from Williams Institute scholars.
The Global LGBTI Small Grants Program promotes two goals:
- Generate sound empirical research on issues impacting LGBTI populations in the Global South (Latin America, Caribbean, Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East/North Africa, Asia) that impacts law and policy.
- Strengthen the capacity of researchers from the Global South to further conduct rigorous, impactful research on issues impacting LGBTI populations through networking, knowledge exchange, and mentorship (as needed).
Applicants must submit a proposal describing the research project and its importance for law and policy impacting LGBTI people. Awardees will receive a grant to support their research, and work supported by the fellowship may be featured on the Williams Institute website and highlighted at Institute events.
