Current Indiana University Bloomington graduate students working on topics of relevance to Jewish Studies are invited to apply for the Robert A. and Sandra S. Borns Jewish Studies Program grants-in-aid of research. Grants are available for two categories: 1) funding for continuing M.A. students in the Borns Jewish Studies Program and 2) funding for research travel, accommodations while conducting research, language study, archival expenses, and other research-related expenses. Grants-in-aid will not cover per diem expenses of food. Preference will be given to Jewish Studies master's degree students and doctoral minors.

A grants-in-aid proposal must include:

• Amount of funds requested and for which semester(s) and year(s) - [Summer, Fall, Spring].
• Explanation of research project, language study, second year of M.A. support, or other project for which you are requesting funding (2-3 paragraphs).
• Indication of its role in your degree progress (1 paragraph).
• A detailed budget. Continuing M.A. students requesting program support for a subsequent year need not include a budget unless they are also requesting research-related expenses.
• One letter of reference.
• Proposals should be submitted as a word document emailed to iujsp@iu.edu by Friday, February 18.
