Graduate students and faculty are invited to apply for up to $1,000 in funding to organize CSWS Research Interest Groups (RIGs) for the 2026-27 academic year.

RIGs provide participants the opportunity to discuss readings of emerging and established feminist scholars and share their research. Funding may be used to pay for reading materials, catering, visits by scholars, on-campus symposia and conferences, and similar campus events. Groups are encouraged to use RIGs as the foundation for future conferences and symposia, course development, and publications.
